The *Qiannan Huideng Lu* was compiled by the eminent monk Ruchun of the Qing Dynasty and completed during the Kangxi reign. It is one of the important texts of Chan Buddhism in China. This work primarily records the sayings, biographies, and Dharma lineage transmissions of Linji school Chan masters from the Qiannan region during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its contents include dialogues of pointed inquiry, teachings on Chan practice, and other materials, reflecting the development and regional characteristics of Chan Buddhism at that time. As a lineage holder of the Linji school, Master Ruchun systematically organized local Chan historical records, providing valuable documentation for the study of Buddhist history in southwestern China. This text is not only a significant component of the Chan "lamp records" tradition, but also reflects the spread and influence of Buddhism in the Qiannan region during the early Qing Dynasty. It holds considerable historical value and religious significance, serving as an important reference for understanding Chan thought and the development of regional Buddhism during the Ming and Qing periods.
