Zhì-níng 志寧 (active mid-12th c.), Northern Sòng Buddhist scholar-monk and the editor of Huáyán jīng hé lùn 華嚴經合論 (X223, 120 fascicles) — the huì běn (“combined edition”) of the 80-fascicle Avataṃsaka (T0279) and 李通玄 Lǐ Tōngxuán’s Xīn huáyán jīng lùn (T1739). Per the Manji print, his function is given as 經合論 (“combining the sūtra and the treatise”) — i.e. interleaving the parent sūtra with Lǐ-zhǎngzhě’s commentary in line-by-line interlinear arrangement, parallel to 淨源 Jìngyuán’s contemporary huì běn projects on Chéngguān’s Shū-Chāo.
His birth and death dates are not preserved. The Hé lùn edition is conventionally dated to the period of the late Northern Sòng (c. 1100 – 1127), the period of greatest activity in the Buddhist huì běn publishing tradition.
