The Four Reliances Commentary on the Śūraṅgama Sūtra is a commentary by the eminent Ming dynasty monk Master Guanheng on the important Buddhist scripture, the Śūraṅgama Sūtra. Composed during the late Ming Buddhist revival, the author adheres to the Tiantai tradition's dual cultivation of doctrine and contemplation, elucidating the sutra's meaning based on the principle of the Four Reliances. The work systematically explains the Śūraṅgama Sūtra's teachings on the nature of mind, stages of practice, and methods of meditative contemplation, with particular emphasis on expounding such core concepts as the eternally abiding true mind and the inherently pure luminous essence. This commentary is regarded as an important text in Śūraṅgama studies, holding authoritative status among Tiantai canonical works and exerting a profound influence on later generations' understanding of the practical system of the Śūraṅgama Sūtra.
