無文南游入浙。余初納交於中川。暨登諸老門。電激雷厲眼中無佛祖矣。別二十年。先余而逝。閱三會語。廬山之雲飛揚。東湖之水漫汗。無文之舌猶在。就中有不在舌頭上一句子。請於是錄著一隻眼。癸酉秋仲頴拜手。
道本無言因言顯道。無文和尚不啟口不動舌。三轉法輪言滿天下。其嗣康上人不為父隱而訐露之。此話既行。俾予著語。予曰。若謂無文有語是謗無文。若謂無文無語口業見在。閱者於斯著眼。則此錄皆為剩語矣。咸淳九年冬靈隱虗舟普度䟦。

The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Wuwen Daocan was compiled by his disciple Weikang of the Linji school during the late Southern Song dynasty. This collection contains Master Daocan’s teachings, Dharma discourses, poetic verses, and letters, covering topics such as Chan mind‑nature philosophy, cultivation methods, and everyday encounters of pointed dialogue. It embodies the Linji school’s approach of directly pointing to the human mind and realizing one’s inherent Buddha‑nature. As an important Chan text of the Song dynasty, it not only documents Master Daocan’s Chan thought and pedagogical practice, but also reflects the intellectual currents and social interactions within Chan communities in the late Song period. It holds significant value for the study of the historical development of Chinese Chan Buddhism and stands as an authoritative Buddhist work that combines philosophical depth with historical insight.
