The Commentary on the Extensive Hundred Treatise develops Madhyamaka thought in the lineage of Nagarjuna, emphasizing the elimination of attachments and the elucidation of emptiness, and is an important text in Chinese Buddhist Madhyamaka studies. Xuanzang’s translation not only reflects the terminological standards of Tang dynasty scripture translation, but also became an important reference for later doctrinal studies, scripture lectures, and discussions within schools such as Tiantai and Faxiang. This item is a scripture bureau printed edition from the twentieth year of the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty, useful for studying Ming dynasty scripture printing and the circulation of Madhyamaka treatises.
