Zhu Weimojie jing (C. 注維摩詰經), also referenced as Zhu weimo jing 註維摩經, and Jingmingji 淨名集.[1] A commentary on Kumārajīvaʼs translation of the Vimalakīrti Sutra, written and compiled by Sengzhao (384–414?).[1]

The commentary includes several interpretations of the sutra by other influential monks such as Daosheng 道生 and Daorong 道融. In the preface, Sengzhao proposes that the teachings in the sutra can be understand into terms of source and trace 本迹 (an analog of essence-function 體用), with the sutra being the locus classicus for the use of this phrase in a Buddhist source.[1]
