The Taishō attributes the Lüelun anle jingtu yi 略論安樂淨土義 T1957 to Tanluan 曇鸞 (476–554). Odera writes,

"In this article, we will consider [T1957] to be the original work of Tanluan. There has long been debate about who composed this work, but the discovery of a Dunhuang manuscript with the subtitle 讃阿弥陀仏幷論上巻 has revealed that the Gāthā in Praise of Amitābha 讚阿彌陀佛偈 T1978 and T1957 were originally parts of a single work. Since Daochuo 道綽 (562–645) clearly states in the last juan of his Anle ji 安樂集 T1958 that the Gāthā in Praise of Amitābha is the work of Tanluan, it is inevitable that T1957, which is part of this gāthā, was also composed by the same person. Since Jiacai’s 迦才 (fl. mid-7th century) Jingtu lun 淨土論 T1963 also tells us that these two works were originally circulated together, the author believes that the issue of authorship has been settled for the time being. I am aware that there are a certain number of researchers who take a cautious stance, but here I will assume it to be Tanluan’s work.
