 Dushun authored only a handful of texts. Chief among these is Discernments of the Dharmadhatu of Avatamsaka (Ch. Huayan fajie guanmen, trans. Gimello 1976b, 457–510). This no longer exists as an independent text. But it is interspersed within several commentaries, most notably those by Chengguan (T45.1883; trans. Cleary 1993, 71–124) and Zongmi (T45.1884, trans. King 1976). The text itself is quite unusual. It is not a commentary on the Avatamsaka Sutra. Nor does it offer exegesis of the Avatamsaka Sutra. There are no paraphrases, no explanations of passages, no definitions or technical terminology. Instead, the text distils the central insights available through studying the Avatamsaka Sutra. Its apparent goal is making the Avatamsaka Sutra relevant to meditative practice and accessible to the laity.
