The Prajñā School Exposition
般若系宗通·詳述
Drawing on the Prajñā sūtras and their reception in the Chinese tradition — the Heart Sūtra, the Diamond Sūtra, the Mañjuśrī Prajñāpāramitā, the Smaller Prajñāpāramitā, the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa, the Zhaolun, and the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra — this exposition unfolds one school's teaching to a depth an ordinary reader can follow. It is not a re-translation, not a Western comparison, and not a replacement for the ancient masters' work: resting on this project's translations and following the sequence the canon lays out for itself, it opens the school into a single readable path. An opening chapter and twelve chapters in three parts, transmitting rather than composing — every point of doctrine is the canon's own words. Text within 「」 is verbatim citation; 『』 marks the expositor's paraphrase.
依般若諸經與其漢土承響——《般若波羅蜜多心經》《金剛般若波羅蜜經》《文殊師利所說摩訶般若波羅蜜經》《小品般若波羅蜜經》《維摩詰所說經》《肇論》《大智度論》——開演一宗義理，至常人可解。此非重譯，非西方對照，非取代祖師譯文；乃以本系譯注為底，順經論自具之次第，將一宗之學攤成一條可讀的路。全書第〇章開卷、三部十二章，述而不作：凡立義處皆經論自語。「」內皆逐字徵引，『』為譯者今語提挈。
