Satō argues that the Jingang banre jing shu 金剛般若經疏 T1698, ascribed to Zhiyi, was not actually composed by Zhiyi.

Comparison with the Jingang banre shu 金剛般若疏 T1699 by Jizang shows that the two works share a considerable number of parallel passages. Satō notes that the author of passages from T1698 is criticized by Jizang in T1699, who refers to him as “a certain person”. This might suggest that T1698 predates T1699 (but see further below). Satō maintains, moreover, that since Jizang's work matches in toto the sūtra subdivisions of T1698, we might think that Jizang took those divisions from T1698, and held the real author of T1698 in high regard (even if it is difficult to pinpoint the exact identity of that author).

However, by carefully comparing the two texts, Hirai demonstrates that the author of T1698 plagiarized the “views of a certain person” cited in T1699. The author of T1698 cites these views as if they were his own. Further, Hirai argues that the author of T1698 based himself completely on T1699, modelling his own commentary on it.

Thus, Hirai concludes that T1698 is not by Zhiyi, but rather, that the real author was probably a Tiantai adherent postdating Jizang's T1699.
