Features: This book is one of the "Selected Works of Chinese Buddhist Classics." The author, Jizang of the Sui Dynasty, was the founder of the Sanlun School. "Sanlun" refers to the "Zhong Lun, Shier Men Lun, and Bai Lun." The Three Treatises on the Profound Meanings (Sanlun Xuanyi) is a representative work of the Sanlun School. In addition to explaining its doctrines, it also critiques the "external paths" (heretical views) and other Buddhist sects it opposed. This book covers a wide range of topics and is rich in materials, making it an important reference not only for studying the Sanlun School and the history of Chinese Buddhism but also for studying the history of Indian Buddhism.
