The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Ziyi of Jianguan, compiled by his attendants Shan Gong, De Xiu, Hui Cheng, Rui Zhang, Xin Ning, and Hui Gong during the Song and Yuan dynasties, is a collection of the teachings of the eminent Linji Chan master Ziyi. It includes his discourses, sharp exchanges, koans, and verses, embodying the Chan principle of directly pointing to the mind, seeing one's true nature, and attaining Buddhahood. The work reflects the practice style and philosophical essence of Chan communities in the Southern Song period. As an important document for studying Linji Chan methods and the history of Chan Buddhism in the Song and Yuan eras, this recorded sayings collection has profoundly influenced the development of later Chan thought and remains one of the authoritative texts in Buddhist Chan literature.
