東山和尚。道高一世。俯視諸方。平居面目嚴冷。學者不可得而親近。或遭喝罵而出。此真善知識慈悲。(慧昇)甞獲侍其藥誨。臨寂之時。以其親刪語錄相受。皆斟酌古今。發揚蘊奧。禪衲竟編。烏焉成馬。念欲鏤正。以廣其傳。今始符所願。亦季子掛劒之義矣。於戲真正法眼。不類常流。大慧老人。每以東山為稱。今信道者。咸生敬仰。乃知南陽之鐘。不待扣而鳴也。
旹淳熈戊戌季冬朔日。住雷峯此丘(慧昇)拜序。No. 1346

The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Xuefeng Huikong was compiled by his Dharma successor Huibi. It is a collection of the transmitted teachings of the Song Dynasty Linji school master Xuefeng Huikong. Zen Master Huikong studied under Dahui Zonggao and was active during the Southern Song period. His recorded sayings include formal hall discourses, instructions to the assembly, encounter dialogues, and letters, embodying the essence of the Linji school’s huatou meditation practice and its dynamic, lively style. This record is not only an important text for studying Zen Master Huikong’s thought and the development of Southern Song Zen, but also serves as a vital guide for later practitioners investigating the nature of mind. It holds a significant place among Zen classics and has deeply influenced the transmission of the Linji school and the development of Zen thought.
