No. 1579-C募刻續指月錄弁語
松陽老人東吳哲。斑毫譜出禪家牒。一花五葉自分明。如月得指指見月。近今復有三耳生。賦詩銘物多能聲。續成此錄在患難。猿檻雞籠渾不驚。我於禪宗兩不曉。展讀是書嘗了了。百川同自岷江來。泰華還借兒孫繞。側聞曹濟分兩宗。東西聚議還相攻。那知今人有頓漸。總在拈花一笑中。爰以此編告同志。大法流傳卅(音靸)八世。蜜分眾口不殊甘。穗結千畦均有利。願君同發歡喜心。琬𤥎[鑴-儿]成益共深。不然請從闇中視。光生筆畫皆黃金。
如是居士 吳綺園次氏 拜書。

The Continued Record of Pointing at the Moon, compiled by the lay Buddhist Nie Xian of the Qing dynasty, is an important Chan lineage history in the lamp-record style, succeeding the earlier Record of Pointing at the Moon. Continuing the work of its predecessor, this text primarily collects the recorded sayings, encounter dialogues, and transmission lineages of eminent Chan masters from the Southern Song to the early Qing dynasty, systematically outlining the developmental threads of schools such as Linji and Caodong. It vividly documents Chan gong'an and enlightenment journeys, serving as a crucial source for studying the history of Chan thought and its transmission. Not only does it extend the lamp-record tradition, but it also provides invaluable Chan materials for later generations, holding a pivotal scholarly position in Buddhist history by linking the past with the future.
