In Kamakura period, Japanese Huayan school consisted of two streams: Todaiji Temple and Kozanji Temple. Kishinron-Honsho-Choshuki (heareafter KHC), written by Junko(順高),is the oldest commentary on the Dashengqixinlunyiji. Junko is situated in the flow of Myoe(明恵)’s thought, the founder of the Kozanji stream. Only 28 volumes of KHC have survived now among 29 volumes in total. In KHC, Biziaoji(筆削記), by Zixuan(子璿) of the Song Dynasty, is cited most, followed by a book of Junko’s teacher Kikai(喜海) that was quoted in about 700 places. In addition, Junko has actively expressed his own opinions by the expression “I think”. Furthermore, other commentaries on Qixinlun, such as those of Huiyuan, Wonhyo, and Zongmi are quoted from 75 times to 85 times respectively. Moreover, eight other Qixinlun commentaries are also cited, including missing texts such as Suishiji(隨疏記) of Chuanao(傳奧) from Wonjong-munryu written by Uicheon in Goryeo period. KHC specially quotes Wonhyo’s biography from Gangyojisho(元暁事抄) and Huijieji(會解記). This shows that Junko highly appreciated Wonhyo whom he regarded as a monk of Huayan school. KHC agrees with Wonhyo only when Wonhyo’s commentary corresponds with those of Fazang or Zongmi. There is one case where Wonhyo’s commentary is criticized when his views differ from Fazang’s. Considering these facts, even though KHC highly estimated the biographical facts of Wonhyo, he was used secondarily at most in aspects of thoughts or citation rate.
