Tokuno discusses "thirty-nine texts" [sic] belonging to the Sanjie jiao that Zhisheng considered "spurious”. [Zhisheng's list at T2154:55.678b7-c27 actually lists 35 texts---MR.] He repeats the attribution of the Da Zhou lu (DZKZM) and adds his own comments. He argues “although they draw upon the scriptures, they are all fallaciously produced on the basis of the prejudiced views of his [Xinxing’s 信行] faction.” Tokuno characterises Zhisheng’s reasoning as based upon a combination of “internal evidence” and “socio-political characterisations.” Zhisheng labels the texts as “spurious” because of both their “unorthodox” messages, and the group’s controversial political status. All texts listed by Zhisheng are included in this entry.

According to Lewis, all of the texts belonging to the Sanjie jiao sect were “denied legitimacy” and labelled as “apocrypha” because they challenged the efficiency of all government, the supremacy of the saṃgha, orthodox doctrine, and conventional Buddhist practice. This entry contains Zhisheng's list of thirty-five Sanjie jiao texts.
