The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Pingshi Rudi was compiled by his Dharma heirs and disciples, including Wencai, Zichang, and Liaoyin, and completed during the Yuan Dynasty. It contains the Chan teachings, Dharma talks, dialogues, and poetry of the Linji School master Pingshi Rudi. As an important text of the Yangqi branch of the Linji School, the Record reflects his Chan approach of directly pointing to the mind, emphasizing actual practice, and integrating the methods of kanhua Chan and mozhao Chan. This work is a significant scripture for studying Yuan Dynasty Chan thought and the development of the Linji School. It has deeply influenced later Chan traditions and holds considerable value in Buddhist philosophy and history.
