No. 1292-B靈巖妙空和尚註證道歌
侍者德最集
昔世尊。於靈山。拈一枝華。迦葉微笑。乃至。吾有正法眼藏。分付於汝。謂之證也。又永嘉大師。本習天台止觀。四威儀中。常冥禪觀。因詣曹溪六祖。往復問答。乃蒙印證。祖留一宿。時謂一宿覺。遂作此謌。以其所證之道。述而書之。故謂證道謌也。

Commentary on the Song of Enlightenment is the authoritative commentary by the Song Dynasty eminent monk Jinul on the Song of Enlightenment by the Chan Master Yongjia Xuanjue. This work emerged during the peak of Chinese Chan Buddhism, in which Jinul harmonized Chan practice with Huayan thought, systematically elucidating the core principles of sudden awakening to one’s true nature, stages of cultivation, and the unity of Chan and scriptural teaching. Its content clearly and profoundly interprets the realization of mind and nature, the path of practice, and the harmonious integration of ultimate and conventional truths, combining theoretical depth with practical guidance. As an important commentary within the Chan tradition, it not only promoted the development of Korean Seon practice but also became a model work integrating doctrinal teaching and Chan in East Asian Buddhism, exerting a profound influence on the history of Buddhist thought in East Asia.
