The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Yuejiang Zhengyin was compiled collectively by twenty-one disciples, including Jujian and Miaoxin. Yuejiang Zhengyin was a prominent monk of the Linji school during the Yuan Dynasty, active from the late 13th to the 14th century. His recorded sayings emerged during a period of Chan flourishing and a strong trend of compiling such records. This work includes his formal hall teachings, sharp dialogues, Dharma instructions, and verses, centrally reflecting his Chan thought and style of guiding students. As an important document of the Linji school in the Yuan Dynasty, this record is indispensable for studying the Chan ethos, intellectual transmission, and sectarian development of the time, holding significant documentary value and status in the history of Buddhist Chan.


No. 1409-A育王月江和尚語錄敘
余初游方時。月江禪師。已出世說法。雖辱交三十餘年。而以不及預參徒。久親爐鞴。為恨。至治間。奉旨金山陞座。獲聆提唱。而驚其若河漢之無極也。比者其徒如月。以師語錄示余。始取讀之。脫然如病之遇耆域。不假湯液丸劑。鍼砭灸熨。而[聲-耳+亥]欬呼吸之頃。已疾去而平復。百骸調適。而併忘其有身矣。於是持神定氣。𣸪㳂涯涘。以深入性海。其大無外。其細無內。內無自心。外無萬境。上而十地滿覺。下而三界廿五有。皆聖凡影響。化儀設施。在性海中。非有非無。非存非亡。非取非捨。非來非去。如虗空具含諸相。如大地容載萬物。無自他之間。無今古之殊。乃於其中。縱橫游戲。卷舒自在。行棒行喝。揚眉瞬目。動靜語默。嬉咲怒罵。無非妙用。或與而奪。或縱而擒。或與無町畦。倐而崖絕。敲空作響。言於無言。撥火覔漚。作於無作。其稱性而說也。雷雨八荒。其稱性而用也。埏埴萬化。噫何此老。作大法施。神通三昧。有如是耶。以吾淺陋觀之。猶所得叵量。又豈無大乘根器。一聞一見。而親證實悟。以續慧命。而傳正法眼。如古塔主之讀雲門錄。有足徵矣。
至元六年庚辰歲三月。龍翔住山比丘大訢拜書。
