Features: This commentary, spanning 240,000 words, is Huang Teacher's second in-depth exploration of the Dizang Bodhisattva's Great Vows Sutra, following his previous work Research and Annotation of the Dizang Bodhisattva's Great Vows Sutra. As this scripture is particularly important for us, the living beings in the Dharma-aging period, and its main content is the "powerful assistance method," there is a concern that those who look down upon incense-burning, prayers for blessings and disaster elimination, reciting the Buddha's name, chanting mantras, and observing precepts may reject this scripture. It is also hoped to avoid the misinformed and superstitious faith of ordinary people from resonating with this precious classic. Therefore, Huang Teacher provides an in-depth and insightful explanation and elaboration on the scripture from perspectives such as the "self-power method" and the "powerful assistance method," "conventional truth" and "ultimate truth," and "explicit teaching" and "hidden meaning." May all living beings receive the blessings of the Dizang Sutra.
