The Selection of Buddhas Record is an important Buddhist scripture authored by the late Ming dynasty eminent monk Ouyi Zhixu. Buddhism in the late Ming period emphasized practice and integration; Master Zhixu composed this work to rectify the prevalent shortcomings within the Chan school. The entire text adopts the form of a genealogical record, systematically and clearly expounding the stages of cultivation and the distinctions in attained fruition from an ordinary being to Buddhahood, providing practitioners with an authoritative guide to the progressive stages. It holds a unique position within Chinese Buddhism, regarded as an important criterion for guiding Chan meditation and discerning states of realization, exerting a profound influence on later Buddhist practice.
