AbstractThe Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana presents itself as one of the most profound, concise and authoritative summaries of Mahayana thought. Written from the perspective of essence (體) and function (用), The Awakening of Faith sought to harmonize the tathāgatagarbha (or Buddha nature) and ālayavijñāna (or yogacara) into the concept, “the One Mind in Two Aspects” which later exerted tremendous influences on different schools of Chinese Buddhism. This paper aims to examine the text’s influence on Tiantai thinker Siming Zhili (960-1028) based on his work, “Chapter on Bringing Together the Teachings of Tiantai and The Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana” from A Record of Siming Zhili’s Teachings. Through providing an English translation of this text, the basic Tiantai concepts such as nature inclusion, following conditions, the unchanging, and doctrinal classification will be assessed, and their possible links to The Awakening of Faith will be examined.
