Yújí zǒngxíng sījì 瑜祇總行私記
Private Notes on the General Practice of the Yogin Sūtra (Jp. Yugi sōgyō shiki) by 眞寂 (Shinjaku, 撰)
About the work
A one-fascicle private-notes commentary on the general practice of the Yújí jīng (KR6j0031, T18n0867) by the Japanese Esoteric scholar Shinjaku 眞寂 (眞寂).
Abstract
The Sījì (Jp. shiki — private notes) is a Japanese-Buddhist scholastic format in which an author’s lectures and exegetical observations are collected. Shinjaku’s Sījì is concerned specifically with the general practice (zǒngxíng 總行) of the Yugi-kyō tradition — the comprehensive ritual-doctrinal apparatus rather than any specific sub-practice. The work is a working scholarly handbook for Esoteric practitioners engaging the Yugi-kyō tradition.
Shinjaku’s lifedates are unknown; the conventional dating bracket places him in the mid- to late-Heian period (10th–13th c.). The work supplements Annen’s more systematic Xiūxíng fǎ (KR6j0032) with Shinjaku’s particular exegetical-pastoral observations.
