A Brief Explanation of the Great Repentance Text was composed by the eminent monk of the Qing Dynasty, Master Shuyu, based on his annotation of ancient versions. This work provides an essential commentary on the important Buddhist repentance text, the Great Repentance, and was created during the period of Buddhist revival in the early Qing Dynasty. It systematically elucidates the religious significance of repentance, its practical rituals, and mental cultivation, with a focus on analyzing both the phenomenal aspects and the contemplative principles of the repentance Dharma-gate. As a significant commentary on the repentance rituals within Chinese Buddhism, this book reflects the emphasis placed on precepts and practical cultivation in Chinese Buddhism. It remains a key text for understanding Buddhist repentance thought and practice to this day and holds important reference value in the field of Buddhist ritual studies.


凡例(十條)
  • 佛號題文,俱書頂格,低一字者,乃是今解。所列科目,又低一字,一則尊敬佛法,二則作述分明,庶無紊亂其先後之次也。
  • 集法之人,流通本遺失。飲水思源,烏可缺焉。故於釋題之次,即便補出其名。恐日久漸湮,以昧古德弘法利生之願力也。
  • 此懺悔願文,髫年即能讀誦,而有髮白不了其義者,皆由文簡義深,人多輕忽故也。是以勉力解之,作一助顯。
  • 文中讚禮皈依,懺悔發願,雖則各自分開,而佛號願偈,不無疑議。尤恐初心未了,今亦科明,庶幾覽者如指其掌。
  • 五十三佛、三十五佛緣起各有不同,故今採取冠於兩節之前,以見諸佛菩薩慈念眾生,如母憶子之切不可忽也。
  • 出義消文,貴在直捷爽快,如開門見山,不容他往。故此解中,不論經律教部,凡有與本文相符者,即便錄出,以顯其義,並不局於一處而生別見也。
  • 諸佛德號,義海難窮,管見愚資,如何測量?但非解說,則其德不顯,故今隨號釋之。雖不能深達佛理,然亦無礙於法義也。
  • 此中發心,原揀去權小,唯依上乘。今釋文中又大小兼收者,蓋欲令其回小向大,會三歸一,故毋得論其混雜也。
  • 集此懺法,普利群情,不論道俗男女,一切皆當修學。然未登聖地已還,誰能無過?天中雖樂,五衰相現,即便向佛皈依,何況人間眾苦縈纏,而不勤行懺悔?果能至誠禮誦,而諸佛菩薩不攝受者,未之有也。
  • 誦此佛號,必須精誠作觀,如法稱揚。一尊念完,即便換氣,不得帶南無二字。如或上下牽連,則冠履倒置,於理不便,務必留心。至於如來十號,亦要念得清楚。善逝與世間解是兩號,不可作一句念也。
