The Combined Annotations of the Precious Lessons from the Chan Grove is a significant Buddhist scripture compiled and verified by Zhang Wenjia of the Qing dynasty, with reference by Zhang Wenxian. It gathers the words, deeds, teachings, and essential principles of practice from Chan patriarchs. Based on the Song-dynasty Precious Lessons from the Chan Grove, this work incorporates annotations and textual research to systematically compile the recorded sayings and teachings of eminent Chan monks, covering methods of practice, insights into the nature of mind, and monastic regulations. Its historical context traces back to the flourishing period of Chan Buddhism during the Tang and Song dynasties, reflecting the pure precepts and moral transmission of the Chan school. As an important guide for Chan study and practice, this text holds a pivotal position in Buddhist history, bridging past and future. It provides clear pathways for meditation practice and ethical principles for later learners, remaining to this day one of the authoritative sources for the study of Chan thought and practice.

古德有云。出家乃大丈夫事。非將相之所能為。夫功業被乎羣生。勳名流乎奕世。至于將相。稱極盛矣。而猶似不屑為。則此所謂大丈夫者。豈非全乎道德之風。遠去凡陋之迹。體高亮之弘姿。挺孤奇之雅操。上足以合乎佛心。下足以拯乎含識。確然足為人天師表。照耀古今者乎。乃去聖逾遠。人心雕斵。主者俯仰以取世資。學人隨波而溷保社。佛法下衰。漸有江河之勢。此妙喜竹菴二大士。所以有寶訓之作也。夫二師當程朱倡明儒學之日。方容矩步。所談者正心誠意。所辨者義利公私。其于釋氏。真若宼讎然者。然今觀所列。自明教嵩而下諸大尊宿。見地超卓。踐履真實。非惟僅能固其籓籬而已。而又能使勳業若富鄭公趙清獻。文名若蘇子瞻黃魯直。道學若胡康侯張子韶。其他名公鉅儒。無慮數十百家。莫不皈敬投誠。入廛垂手。即程子亦從而嘆曰。三代禮樂。盡于此矣。朱子亦有言。願盻指心性。名言超有無。其意雖欲折之。而卒無瑕隙可指者。則非特諸尊宿透悟之微。宗風之盛。足以杜其口。即其臨事施為之際。崇道德。厲廉隅。遠榮名。抑利養。光明正大。實有以大服其心也。向使趨炎附勢。逐利鑽名。或貢高我慢。背蔑師友。破碎大道。紊亂先規。問其名。則巍然知識之稱。而綜其實。有出于庸俗之所羞為者。亦何以紹隆佛種主持正法。令世之賢人君子。無所議其後乎。即世或為所蒙蔽。而清夜思之。寧不內愧于心耶。故夫二師是編。扶衰起敝。足與儒家近思錄諸篇相表裏。誠釋門之龜鑑。而衲子之楷模也歟。顧其書雖行。頗患殘缺。乃東吳善師補綴于前。而雲棲建師音義于後。可謂全矣。然音義雖具。而獨本單行。飜閱不便。余故與弟程叔。刪其繁蕪。增其未備。酌為定本。各附註于本條之下。以便觀覧。惟願有志于為大丈夫者。自學地以至于出世為人。日手此一編。以作韋弦之佩可也。
