The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Yuansou Xingduan was compiled by his disciples Falin, Tan'e, Zuming, Fanqi, and others. It contains the sharp dialogues, teachings, poems, and letters of the eminent monk Xingduan from the Yuan Dynasty. Chan Master Xingduan was a leading figure of the Linji school during the Yuan period, active from the 13th to the 14th century. His thought carries on the tradition of "observing the key phrase" (kanhua Chan) as taught by Dahui Zonggao, emphasizing directly pointing to the human mind and realizing one's true nature to attain enlightenment. This recorded sayings collection is an important text for studying Chan thought in the Yuan Dynasty and the development of the Linji school. It demonstrates the master's skillful means in guiding students and the essence of Chan practice, holding a significant place in Buddhist history and exerting a profound influence on later generations of Chan practice.


No. 1419-B重刻元叟端禪師四會語題辭
寂照和尚元叟端公。既示寂。金華黃文獻公。為銘其塔。蜀郡虞文靖公。為序其四會語。二公以文辭。名天下。亦云備矣。其入室弟子。清涼子楩。金山慧明。天寧祖闡。復合辭請曰。舊刊所錄。先師語。不幸燬于兵。然非此。無以見道之所存。竊懼不傳。子楩三人者。已協力。命印生。重雕之矣。敢重以首簡。請為序。雖然序猶可略也。先師事蹟。多涉神異。狀行者。輒諱而不書。神異之事。大乘者。固所不樂聞。苟錄以示入道之士。亦足以起其正信。初何傷乎。願併識之序中。濂不敢辭。稽子楩等言。公平頂古貌。眼光鑠人。頷下數髯。磔立凜然。雪後孤松。坐則挺峙。行不旋顧。英風逼人。凜如也。所過之處。眾方讙譁如雷。聞履聲輒曰。端書記來矣。噤默如無人。賓友相從。未甞與談人間細故。舍大法。不發一言。秉性堅凝。確乎不可拔。自為大僧。至化滅。無一夕脫衣而寢。
其從南屏。歸化城受經。夏夕啟窗而臥。忽一梵僧。飛錫而來。與談般若樞要。亹亹不絕。未幾騰空而去。
虎巖師主雙徑時。甞言。道家者流。有上章謁帝者。其還甚遲。因叩之。答云。為選徑山四十八代住持。故天閽久不開爾。公正符其數。公朝京師。夢徑山潭龍君。持金匙舉食。食公數凡十又八。公主法席。實十八春秋也。
公將示滅。所剪爪髮。留瘞化城幻有菴。逮啟視之。設利纍纍然生矣。公之遺事。有若此者。皆宜補書。以見於世。不可略也。葢公道契佛祖。名震華夏。誠堪輿間氣之所鍾。其祥應之至。亦出自然。非苟涉於神怪者比也。文獻所謂。門庭之盛。規重矩疊。法雷普震。裂地轟天。文靖所謂。譬諸名藩。鎮以宿將。隱然持重。風霆不驚。握機行令。舒卷自由。足以使方城連戍。有所仰放。不敢踰越。其言試不誣哉。濂何敢復贊一辭。頗念文靖之學。粗聞而知之。又執弟子之役於文獻之門者最久。於是勦其緒論。重申之如此。嗚呼公之四會語。其尚假濂文。以傳之哉。子楩字用堂。慧明字性原。祖闡字仲猷。皆設化一方。黑白咸歸仰云。
洪武七年。冬十月朔。翰林侍講學士中順大夫知制誥。同修 國史。兼 太子贊善大夫。金華宋濂序。
