The *Yingxiang Ji* is a Buddhist scripture compiled by the monk Lianghai during the Qing Dynasty. It was composed against the backdrop of the Buddhist revival and the concurrent practice of Chan and Pure Land traditions in the Qing period. This work primarily expounds the Pure Land School's method of Buddha-name recitation, while also integrating the Chan School's teachings on the nature of mind. It emphasizes rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss through the practice of mindful recitation of the Buddha's name. Its content is systematic and concise, well-suited to the capacities of people of that time. The text holds significant influence in the dissemination and practice of Pure Land faith during the Qing Dynasty and serves as an important document for the study of popular Buddhist thought and practice in that era.
