Jùshě Lùn Sòng Shū Xùjì 俱舍論頌疏序記
Preface-Notes for the Commentary on the Abhidharmakośa Verses by 法盈 (修)
About the work
The Jùshě Lùn Sòng Shū Xùjì 俱舍論頌疏序記 (CBETA X53n838) is a Tang dynasty 1-juan text by the monk Fǎyíng 法盈 (法盈), associated with 圓暉’s Jùshě lùn sòng shū (KR6l0036, T1823). The catalog function is 修 (edited/revised). The text preserved in Xuzangjing Vol. 53, No. 838 apparently consists of introductory preface-notes clarifying the sequence and intent of 圓暉’s commentary. The surviving file opens with an allegorical preface by a later publisher using the metaphor of mountain-climbing to describe the difficulty and reward of studying classical texts.
Prefaces
The opening section preserved is a later editorial preface (刻法盈俱舍頌疏敘記序) by an unnamed publisher or editor, using elaborate mountain-climbing metaphors to praise the difficulty and value of 法盈’s work. This is followed by 法盈’s own explanatory notes on 圓暉’s text.
Abstract
Fǎyíng 法盈 (fl. late 7th–early 8th century CE) was a Tang Abhidharma monk whose connection to the 圓暉 tradition is reflected in this brief preface-commentary. The Xùjì 序記 genre denotes introductory explanatory notes accompanying a major commentary — here, 圓暉’s Sòng Shū. The text’s exact character and extent in its original form are uncertain, as the Xuzangjing edition preserves it with later editorial additions. Works in the Kanripo corpus: KR6l0039 俱舍論頌疏序記.
