The *Complete Records of the Five Lamps* was compiled by the Linji school monk Chao Yong of the Qing Dynasty and completed in the 32nd year of the Kangxi reign. This work is a compilation and systematization of Chan lineage records since the *Records of the Five Lamps*, systematically documenting the transmission lineages and dialogues of the Chan patriarchs from the Seven Buddhas of the Past to the Qing Dynasty.
