佛祖統紀 10.34

10.34

The appraisal says: The basic annals of Zuoxi state that Zhenjue was a fellow student and friend. In the biography of Zhenjue, it states that Zuoxi urged him to visit Caoxi, and it also says that he was master of the Tiantai path of calming and contemplation. From this, we know beyond doubt that they studied together under Tiangong. Furthermore, the Yongjia Collection exclusively employs the principle of calming and contemplation through concealment and illumination; this should make it even more credible. Thus, it is appropriate to attach his entry to Tiangong, thereby demonstrating the meaning of master and disciple transmission. However, the Song of Realizing the Way transmitted in the world is perverse in expression and purport; earlier generations considered it not to be his genuine work. Could this not be true?
