Yang Wenhui undertook the collection and arrangement of Buddhist suutras, the study of Buddhist doctrine, the training of Buddhist talents, and the dissemination of Buddha dharma in order to save the declining Buddhism and to oppose the intellectual climate of delusiveness and craziness. His understanding of Buddhism was based on The `Saastra on the Awakening of Faith in Mahaayaana, and he practised the Pure Land Buddhism. It is very pure and down-to-earth. Yang Wenhui praised Ch”an Buddhism rather highly. But, his understanding of Ch”an Buddhism was different from the traditional one. He criticized the decadent Ch”an custom of late Qing Dynasty very severely. We can say that his various practices of reviving Buddhism were to correct the various decadened Ch”an custom of late Qing Dynasty. He opined that the right path of learning the Buddha dharma is from faith to understanding, from understanding to practice, from practice to realization, and finally to Pure Land. Herein, to study and understand the doctrine is an important and unnegligible part of the chain. Therefore, one must study the sutras. Before that, the sutras should be collected, arranged, printed, and distributed. Thus, Yang Wenhui

　　The paper discusses Yang Wenhui”s concepts of compiling Tripi.taka from five angles: The purpose of compiling the Trpi.taka, the standards of selecting materials, the structural system, the distributive utilization, and the methods of work. The purpose of compiling the Tripi.taka is to revive the Chinese Buddhism, and then to spread to the whole world. So, this belongs to the system of doctrinal Tripi.taka . The standards of selecting materials are to safeguard the orthodoxy tradition, to collect complete materials, to emphasize the explanation of doctrine, and to select fine texts. This shows his emphasis on the sutras which were not included in the previous Tripi.taka, and on the Chinese commentaries. In the structural system, he inherited the system of Kai Yuuan Shi Jiao Lu and Yuue Zang Zhi Jin and made a further development. However, he didn”t go beyond the old mode of emphasizing the Mahaayaana and reglecting the Hinayaana. His principle of using the commentaries to group the sutras still has very great theoretical and practical significance until today. The paper places high evaluation on Yang Wenhui”s seriousness in compiling the Tripi.taka. It also comments on his methodology.

　　The conclusion summarizes Yiang Wuenhuei”s concepts of compiling Tripi.taka and its significance today.

　　Key words: 1. Yang Wenhui 2. Tripi.taka 3. Buddhism in Qing Dynasty
