淨慈仁知客。袖月磵和尚語錄示余。余與翁別久。喜猶見翁。因重撫卷而曰。龍淵一滴。甚於毒藥。曼衍四海。魚龍鰕蟹。莫不喪身失命。毒流東湖。益見毒波浩渺。三十年後。支分派別。當無際涯。後之學者。切忌望洋向若。至元甲申秋住平江府雙峨比丘覺菴 夢真 敬序。

The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Yuejian is a collection of the words and deeds of the eminent Yuan Dynasty monk Yuejian, compiled by his dharma heirs such as Miaoyin, and his attendants Fayán, Déyuán, Juéjìng, Yǒngrén, and Zōnghuàn. Compiled during the Yuan Dynasty, this record includes the master's teachings, kōans, poetic verses, and daily dialogues, embodying the core principles and practices of the Linji school of Zen. Master Yuejian carried forward the Chan tradition established in the Tang and Song dynasties, emphasizing the direct pointing to the human mind and realizing one's own Buddha-nature. His recorded sayings are concise in language yet sharp and profound in insight, serving as an important text for studying the development of Zen during the Yuan period. Holding a significant place in Buddhist history, this work provides later practitioners with a valuable resource for investigating Zen teachings and stands as a key text in the transmission of the Linji lineage.
