The Extensive Record of Chan Master Wuyi Yuanlai was compiled by his dharma grandson Honghan and co-edited by Hongyu. It is a collection of discourses and writings by the Ming dynasty eminent monk Chan Master Wuyi Yuanlai. Compiled during the late Ming Buddhist revival, the work includes Chan teachings, dharma talks, letters, poetic verses, and more, systematically reflecting Master Yuanlai's thought of harmonizing Chan and Pure Land practice, as well as the style of the Caodong school. As an important Chan text of the Ming dynasty, this record not only transmits the Caodong lineage but has also profoundly influenced later Chan practice and doctrinal study. It remains a significant scripture for researching Chinese Buddhist history and Chan thought.
