Abstract
Wǒnhyo’s commentary applies his characteristic harmonising (和諍 hwajaeng) interpretive method to the Yīngluò běnyè jīng’s bodhisattva-path schema. As a major work of Korean Silla scholasticism, it is preserved in the Xùzàngjīng 卍 supplementary canon and is one of the principal extant commentaries on this important Mahāyāna text.
