Commentary on the Mahayana Treatise, The [釈摩訶衍論] (Chin Shih-mo-ho-yen-lun; Shaku-makaen-ron): A commentary on The Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana attributed to Nāgārjuna (c. 150–250) and translated into Chinese by Fa-t’i-mo-to in the fourth or fifth century. Kōbō (774–835), the founder of the Japanese True Word (Shingon) school, regarded it as an exposition of Esoteric Buddhism and used it to criticize the Lotus Sutra. Contemporary scholars view this commentary as having been produced in China.
