1. Chinul is alluding here to the famous Parable of the Burning House from the Lotus Sutra. See Miao‐fa lien‐hua ching 2, T 262.9.12c‐13c; Leon Hurvitz, Lotus, pp. 58‐62. See also LCL, p. 497b. 17, and Wonhyo’s Palsim suhaeng chang, in Cho Myeong‐gi (ed.), Wonhyo taesa cheonjip, p. 605.

8. CTL 3, p. 218b; quoted also in THYL 5, p. 829c. Korean Igyeon (異見 C. yi‐chien) is a common designation for devotees of non‐Buddhist Indian religious sects; compare K. osip igyeon paramun nyeo(五十異見婆羅門女), C. wu‐shih yi‐chien peo‐lo‐men nil, P’u‐sa pen‐sheng‐man lun(無相宗) 4, T 160.3.341c. 18‐19. Such sects were "heterodox" because they did not accept such basic Buddhist teachings as rebirth or karmic cause and effect; for a listing, see Ch’ang A‐han ching 7, T 1.1.42c. 1‐3. Bharati was a prime exponent of the signless teaching (musang chong)―one of the six major divisions of the Indian Buddhist tradition reputedly current in Bodhidharma’s time (CTL 3, p. 217b.3‐5). Bharati was sent by Bodhidharma to reconvert the South Indian kings who had reverted to heterodox beliefs and were reviling the three treasures; see CTL 3, p. 218a‐b.
9. Kuei‐tsung Ts’e‐chen (歸宗策眞 ?‐979), also known as Hui‐ch’ao 慧超, was a disciple of Fa‐yen Wen‐i (885‐958), founder of the Fa‐yen school of the mature Ch’an tradition. For Kuei‐tsung’s biography, see CTL 25, p. 417a.3‐22.

34. "Fallen into darkness" can refer to hell―as in the Ti‐tsang ching, where it is said that the T’ieh‐wei Mountains (鐵圉山 Cakravadaparvata), which form the perimeter of hell, "are dark and devoid of any light from the sun or moon" (Ti‐tsangp’u‐sapen‐ytian ching 1, 7412.13.782a.4‐S). The phrase can also refer to a spirit realm, however―"the ghosts of darkness" (see Fo pen‐hsing chi ching 41, ri90.3.845b.4). The former alternative is probably intended here.
35. For this simile, see TsaA‐han ching 16, 799.2.108c.
