註疏 Commentary
The text provides disciples with a guideline for calculating the sum of "points" of merit and demerit accumulated in their daily life to achieve salvation and deliverance, which was determined by a detailed system of moral judgment of their behaviours and deeds in reference to the Ten Commandments.
Ledgers of Merit and Demerit
功過格 is a popular type of morality book popular in late imperial China. It takes the form of self-disciplinary journal for individuals (often Daoist and Buddhist practitioners) to evaluate their deeds and behaviours in daily life, to which certain numbers of merit or demerit points would be assigned based on different tenets or guiding principles. A shared belief underlying such practices was that accumulated merits would be rewarded (not necessarily in this world), whereas demerits would lead to punishments or karmic retributions.
It was recorded to help certain groups of Daoists and Buddhists achieve salvation since the twelfth century, but it was only during the sixteenth and seventeenth century that 功過格 gained unprecedented popularity around China.
Buddhist 十善業
There is significant overlap between Daoist Ten Commandments in the 十戒功過格 and the Mahayana Buddhist Ten Good Works(Daśa-kuśala-karmāni), a set of moral precepts to be observed by lay practitioners.
