No. 1342-A雲菴真淨禪師語錄敘
真淨和尚語錄。板留玉几。學者艱得。每得之。遂失之。衲子酷愛之故也。半山古潭和尚。重鏤板印行。以其乃舒王建寺。請開山之祖也。雖然。關西子沒頭腦一著子。決定不在此錄中。覧者宜具眼始得。

The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Yun'an Kewen is a compilation of the words and deeds of the eminent monk Kewen of the Huanglong lineage of the Linji school during the Northern Song Dynasty, edited by his disciples. Chan Master Kewen studied under Huanglong Huinan and was active in the mid to late Northern Song period. His recorded sayings include formal discourses, informal teachings, sharp dialogues, and poetic verses, vividly embodying the Linji school's approach of directly pointing to the mind and realizing one's inherent Buddha-nature. This text not only documents the master's insightful dialogues in guiding students but also contains related prefaces, postscripts, and appendices. It serves as an important classic for studying Chan thought in the Song Dynasty, particularly the teachings of the Huanglong lineage, and has had a profound influence on the development of Chan Buddhism in later generations.
