Zhèngjì 正寂

Late-Míng Tiāntái-affiliated Pure Land monk active in the Huátíng 華亭 region (modern Sōngjiāng 松江, Shànghǎi). Lifedates not recorded with precision; he was active in the late Wànlì / early Tiānqǐ period, immediately after the death of 傳燈 Yōuxī Chuándēng 幽溪傳燈 (1554–1628), and his major work — the 《淨土生無生論註》 Jìngtǔ shēng wúshēng lùn zhù KR6p0070 (X1167, 1 juǎn) — is an annotated commentary on Chuándēng’s foundational Tiāntái-Pure Land treatise KR6p0056. The annotation is the earliest sustained commentary on Chuándēng’s text and is the principal seventeenth-century reading apparatus for the Shēng wúshēng lùn. Beyond this work no substantial biographical record survives.
