The Zhīyuán Posthumous Compilation is a Buddhist work compiled by the eminent Song dynasty monks Yuanzhao and Daoxun. Composed during the flourishing period of the Chinese Buddhist Vinaya school in the Song dynasty, this text collects the writings of Vinaya Master Yuanzhao along with related compilations by his later disciple Daoxun. Its content primarily elucidates Buddhist precept thought and practical cultivation, covering key Vinaya topics such as the essence of precepts, observance and transgression, and repentance methods, systematically summarizing the theoretical framework of the Nanshan Vinaya school. Regarded as an important document of Chinese Vinaya Buddhism, this work holds significant value for the study of Vinaya development and practice in Song dynasty Buddhism, and stands as one of the authoritative texts for understanding the transmission of precepts in Chinese Buddhism.
