AbstractTruth that one strives to penetrate, knowledge that concerns truth, and practice that leads one to attain liberation are the three basic concepts of Chih-i's systematization of the attainment of buddhahood. According to Chih-i, these three closely refer to each other and are indispensable for reaching liberation: truth is the substance, knowledge is the gist, and practice is the actual implementation. Having established the "subtlety of objects" (as truth) and the "subtlety of knowledge" as the first two categories of subtlety in his commentary The Profound and Subtle Meaning ofthe Lotus Sûtra, a third category is introduced, the "subtlety of practice." The present article intends to describe Chih-i's view of religious practice as conceptualized in his commentary Hsüan-i.
