The Selection, Propagation, and Resolution of Doubts Commentary is an important Buddhist scripture authored by the eminent Japanese Pure Land monk, Master Ryōchū. Composed during Japan's Kamakura period, this work serves as an authoritative commentary and elucidation on the fundamental Pure Land text, the Selection of the Nembutsu of the Original Vow. Its core content lies in systematically expounding the essential doctrines of the Pure Land school, particularly offering in-depth analysis and resolution of doubts regarding key concepts such as the Other-Power of the Original Vow and rebirth in the Pure Land through nembutsu. Its purpose is to solidify practitioners' faith in the Pure Land teachings. This commentary holds a pivotal, connecting role within the doctrinal system of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism, regarded as an authoritative basis for understanding and propagating Pure Land thought, especially within the lineage of Ryōchū, and has exerted a profound influence on later generations.


選擇本願念佛集事
問。此之題額。其意如何。󷨽。傳云。於斯題中。且有三義。遂成一意。一者念佛。二者本願念佛。三者選擇本願念佛也。初言念佛者萬行隨一念佛是當諸師所立之念佛之義未分別正雜𦔳正故。次言。本願念佛者。於万行中。分別正雜。於正行中。細判𦔳正。其正業者。稱名念佛。順󳇐陁本願故。故止雜行專行念佛。是當今家所立念佛之義。後言選擇本願念佛者。於本願義之上更加選擇一義是祖師上人。依大阿󳇐陁經。而始立此義也。所謂其本願者。自二百一十億諸佛願行之中所選擇之本願也。終成一意者。然今此集中。非備存三義。三義相成。唯為一義念佛非直念佛。則是本願念佛。本願念佛亦非直本願念佛。則是選擇本願念佛也。凡念佛者。或觀或稱。或揔或別。俱是念佛。恐此󷲭故。言本願念佛耳。私謂大師本願。祖師選擇。辞異義同(云云)。問。本願念佛者出在經文。諸師豈不知本願之義耶。󷨽。本願之文。雖出經󵘸。而見別故。解義非一。謂諸師。就念佛諸行中。不分明判願非願差。故所立念佛。万行隨一也。綽感二師。念佛勝。故別立一行。餘行劣。故揔判万行。今家獨驗本願誠文。選以念佛立正定業。如是諸師種種異解。豈非見別有立不立。如二教論云。諸經論中往往有斯義雖然文隨執見隱。義遂機根現而已。譬如天鬼見別人鳥明闇(已上)。問。文中備有八種選擇。題下選擇可通八義。然今何存本願一義耶。󷨽。作者所傳。何強致疑。既云選擇本願。何通餘義耶但至難者。餘七種義。本願為源。舉本攝末耳。
