Fǎhuá jīng zhǐzhǎng shū xuánshì 法華經指掌疏懸示
Hanging-Display of the Pointing-the-Palm Subcommentary on the Lotus Sūtra by 通理 Tōnglǐ (述)
About the work
The introductory exposition (xuánshì 懸示, “hanging-display”) volume of 通理 Tōnglǐ’s four-text Fǎhuá jīng zhǐzhǎng shū commentarial complex (see KR6d0095). Provides the doctrinal-historical introduction to the Zhǐzhǎng shū main commentary (KR6d0097).
Prefaces
The text carries the standard front matter for the introductory exposition. The xuánshì genre is parallel to the xuántán of KR6d0092 and to the broader Tiāntái xuányì 玄義 framework — providing the systematic doctrinal-historical preface that orients the reader to the main commentary.
Abstract
The Xuánshì belongs together with KR6d0095 (the kēwén) as the principal navigational-introductory apparatus to Tōnglǐ’s Zhǐzhǎng shū main commentary (KR6d0097). The two together fulfill the function of the standard Tiāntái scholastic Wǔzhòng xuányì introductory framework, providing the structural and doctrinal orientation needed for productive engagement with the main commentary.
