The Essential Teachings of Chan Master Foguo Keqin was compiled by his Dharma heir, Master Ziwen, during the Song Dynasty. This work brings together Master Keqin’s instructions, Dharma talks, and letters to his disciples and followers, embodying the core of his Chan thought and practice. It focuses on the Chan teaching of mind-nature, the sudden enlightenment approach, and the harmonious realm of Huayan philosophy. As a key text of the Yangqi branch of the Linji school, it serves not only as a primary source for understanding Master Keqin’s teachings but also stands as a representative work of mature Song Dynasty Chan. With its profound influence on later Chan development, it is regarded as an essential guide for Chan practice.
