The *Traveler's Hut Manuscript of Chan Master Weilin* is a collection of sayings and writings by the late Ming–early Qing Caodong School master, Chan Master Weilin Daopei. It was compiled by his disciples Tai Quan, Deng Chun, Xing Deng, Xin Liang, Jing Huan, and others. Completed during the transition from the Ming to the Qing dynasty, this work reflects the development of Chan Buddhism during a period of great upheaval. The contents include the master's Dharma talks, teachings, poetic verses, and letters, offering profound explanations on the dual cultivation of Chan and Pure Land practices, as well as the philosophy of mind-nature. It integrates the philosophical insights of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. Regarded as an important document for studying Buddhist thought in the Ming and Qing periods, this work has had a lasting impact on the later transmission of Chan Buddhism, particularly within the Caodong School. It embodies the significant historical status and Chan contributions of Weilin Daopei in the history of Buddhism.
