Abstract
The text is a working anthology of select Vinaya passages organised for late-Míng monastic instruction. Zhìxù’s huìbǔ “compilation and supplementation” reflects his foundational role in the late-Míng Vinaya revival. The anthology format made the work suitable for daily monastic study and for non-specialist monastic education.
