About the work

Abstract
Huìhuī 慧暉 (fl. mid-to-late 8th century CE), styled Tang Abhidharma monk, was a student of 圓暉 (圓暉) who lived at Xīmíngsì 西明寺 in Chang’an. He composed this sub-commentary (yì chāo) as doctrinal annotations on 圓暉’s commentary, focusing on clarifying the most difficult passages. Like his fellow student 遁麟’s Jùshě lùn sòng shū jì (KR6l0041), this text belongs to the second-generation transmission of 圓暉’s Sòng Shū commentary tradition.
This Tang Abhidharma master Huìhuī is entirely distinct from the Southern-Sòng Cáodòng Chán master of the same name 慧暉 (1097–1183) represented in the existing yǔlù tradition.
