Profound Meaning of the "Percelver of the world's Sounds" chapter, The
観音玄義 (Chin Kuan-yin-hsüan-i; Jpn Kannon-gengi )

    A work compiled from lectures T'ient'ai gave on the "Perceiver of the World's Sounds" (twenty-fifth) chapter of the Lotus Sutra by his disciple Chang-an. T'ient'ai comments on this chapter in light of the five major principles of name, entity or essence, quality, function, and teaching, and explains the three realms of existence, the Ten Worlds, the one hundred worlds, and the one thousand factors. Since this work does not refer to the principle of three thousand realms in a single moment of life, it is thought to have been compiled prior to Great Concentration and Insight, a compilation of lectures T'ient'ai delivered in 594.
