"The ""Chao Lun: The Treatises of Seng-Chao,"" is the main scripture of the first period of Chinese Buddhism (about A.D. 300-700) before Dhyana-Buddhism absorbed all other interests (A.D. 700-1100). The Author believes that the two periods are connected and that in Dhyana-Buddhism the earlier thinking emerged cleansed from the traces of its Indian origin. Seng-Chao interpreted Mahayana, Hui-Neng and Shien-Hui re-thought it. The position of the Author is unusual and might be contested. But after a life-time given to the study of Chinese-Buddhism and the Chao-Lun in particular he has the right to be heard."" (Introduction to 2nd Edition by Hong Kong University Press - 1968) Walter Liebenthal (1886-1982), was a German philosopher and sinologist who specialized in Chinese Buddhism. He translated many philosophical works from Pali, Sanskrit and specially from Chinese into German or English.

Part I presents a brief introduction to the text and the historical framework of fifth century China. This section surveys the historical and religio-philosophical context within which the Chao-lun initially made its appearance. Part II examines the text as a text, focusing on how and why the present text deviates from the chronological order of its writing and analyzing the work from the perspective of graduated teachings. In addition, both the textual tradition of Mahayana Buddhism and the Chinese practice of tenet classification are explored to determine the antecedents out of which the unified Chao-lun was produced. A fully annotated translation of Seng-chao's Chao-lun is included as a Supplement.
