傳衣石谿佛海禪師雜錄
和張防禦
我有一方田。於中息萬緣。生涯雖寂爾。日用不徒然。知足長年樂。無求在處禪。西隣知此意。松竹銷寒煙。

Chan Master Shixi Xinyue was a renowned master of the Linji school during the Southern Song Dynasty and a dharma heir of Master Yanshi Shankai. His recorded sayings, the *Miscellaneous Records of Chan Master Shixi Xinyue*, contain his teachings, dharma talks, verses, and letters delivered during his propagation of the Dharma in regions such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The work centrally embodies the Chan approach of the Linji school—directly pointing to the human mind, seeing one’s nature, and attaining Buddhahood. With its incisive language and profound Chan insight, the text reflects the developmental landscape of Chan Buddhism in the Southern Song period. It serves as an important document for the study of Linji Chan and Master Xinyue’s thought, holding a significant place in Buddhist history.
