The Outlines of Chan Practice has been attributed to Zhiyi since at least the eighth century, and is listed as such in Saicho’s ninth-century catalog of the texts he brought back to Japan (Chuan jiao dashi jiang lai tai zhou lu 傳 教大師將來台州錄, T.2159:55.1055c18). However Satō Tetsuei has shown that while structurally the text appears to be a commentary on portions of the Explanation of the Sequential Path , the text presupposes the full gamut of Zhiyi’s writings, and moreover cites passages from Tiantai works such as the Si nian chu 四念處 that are now strongly suspected to have been written by Zhiyi’s disciple Guanding 灌頂 (Satō 1961, 273–276). Because the Outlines of Chan Practice has been little studied apart from Satō pioneering research, it is difficult to say more precisely from when this text might date, but it seems safe to take it as a seventh-century work."
