Yes	[Sharf DDB] Sharf, Robert. DDB s.v. 寶藏論 — Accessed April 2014	T1843; 大乘起信論義疏	"the Baozang lun is stylistically and doctrinally similar to a number of texts associated with the Ox-head 牛頭 Chan lineage, notably the Jueguan lun, Xinxin ming 信心銘, Xin ming, Wuxin lun, and so on. It also appears to be related to a group of seventh- and eighth-century Daoist commentaries and scriptures later classified under the heading chongxuan ("double mystery"). Like the Ox-head and chongxuan materials, the Baozang lun is a synthesis of Daoist 老莊 metaphysics and Buddhist Madhyamika 中觀派 dialectic. It is notable for its ruminations on concepts such as "true one" (zhen'i 眞一), "point of origin" (benji ), no-mind (wuxin 無心) etc. and is the locus classicus for the pairing of "transcendence" and "subtlety" (li 離 and wei 微). It also contains a critique of Buddha invocation practices (nianfo 念佛), and a positive reference to the doctrine that even insentient things have buddha-nature 佛性." Cf. Sharf (2002).
