Yuanshi Wuliang Duren Shangpin Miaojing Zhujie (Annotated Explanation of the Supreme Wonderful Scripture of the Primordial Beginning for Delivering Beings Without Limit)
Composed by Xue Jizhao during the Yuan Dynasty.
Consisting of three volumes, it is included in the Yujue (Jade Commentaries) category of the Dongzhen (True Grotto) Section in the Daozang (Taoist Canon).
At the beginning of the book, there is a "Memorial Presenting the Scripture" (Jin Jing Biao) written by the author in the seventh year of the Dade reign of the Yuan Dynasty (1303), in which he claims that the work synthesizes the theories of previous scholars to form a coherent scholarly system.
The annotations focus on explaining the meanings of characters and sentences, being more concise and accessible than other commentaries—facilitating beginners in reciting the Duren Jing (Scripture of Delivering Beings). However, they offer relatively little elaboration on the profound implications of the scripture.
At the end of the book, an epilogue is appended, briefly recounting the lineage of the Duren Jing’s transmission and reception.
Additionally, there is a postscript recording efficacious stories related to spirit writing (fuji) and dream omens.
