In 1999, a new version of the Anban shouyi jing 安般守意經-later attributed as a work of An Shigao (a version that is different from the Taisho Tripitaka No.602 Foshou da anban shouyi jing 佛說大安般守意經)-was discovered at Mount Amano Kongo Temple 天野山金剛寺. This paper demonstrates several key relationships between the Anban shouyi jing, the Zuochan sanmei jing 坐禪三昧經, the Xiuxing daodi jing 修行道地經 and other texts and Abhidharma doctrines, which will help us to interpret the contents of Anban shouyi jing.
