Which Buddhist school's fundamental treatise is the Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji Discussions published by the Bodhisattva Treasury Buddhist Association?
The Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji Discussions published by the Bodhisattva Treasury Buddhist Association is not the fundamental treatise of any Buddhist school. Instead, it is a further explanation and study of the Cheng Weishi Lun, the fundamental treatise of the Yogācāra School.
The Cheng Weishi Lun is the fundamental treatise of the Yogācāra School. It was compiled by the Tang dynasty master Xuanzang by referencing the treatises of the Ten Great Masters of India, systematically expounding the ideological system and core concepts of Yogācāra philosophy.
The Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji is a detailed annotation of the Cheng Weishi Lun by the Tang dynasty master Kuiji.
The Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji Discussions is a discussion of the Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji by Upasaka Wang Muti. In this book, he conducts further analysis, discussion, and explanation of the content of the Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji, helping readers to more deeply understand the ideological essence of the Cheng Weishi Lun.
Therefore, the Cheng Weishi Lun Shuji Discussions can be viewed as a re-interpretation of the fundamental Yogācāra treatise, the Cheng Weishi Lun. It is not the fundamental treatise of a new Buddhist school, but rather stands on the foundation of prior research to further explore and develop Yogācāra thought.
