The Dongpo Chanxi Collection, compiled by Xu Changru in the Ming Dynasty, gathers Buddhist-related poems, essays, letters, and insights into Chan wisdom by the Northern Song literary master Su Shi. Throughout his life, Su Shi immersed himself in Buddhist studies, maintaining close ties with monastics. His works harmonize Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist thought, revealing his expansive philosophy of life and awakened Chan understanding. The collection includes explanations of Buddhist principles, inscriptions for monasteries, and spirited dialogues with Chan masters such as Foyin, reflecting the secularized characteristics of Song dynasty literati Buddhism. As a representative work of scholarly Buddhism, it not only mirrors Su Shi’s personal spiritual journey but also bears witness to the profound influence of Buddhism on Chinese culture. Holding a unique place in the history of Buddhist literature and thought, it serves as an important text for the study of lay Buddhism and the development of Chan.
