The Complete Dream Journey Collection of Elder Hanshan is a literary compilation by the Ming Dynasty eminent monk Hanshan Deqing, edited and recorded by his disciples such as Fushan. Hanshan Deqing was one of the Four Great Eminent Monks of the late Ming Dynasty, living during a period of Buddhist revival. His works encompass commentaries on sutras and treatises, Dharma discourses, letters, poetry, and other writings, involving the integration of various traditions such as Chan and doctrinal teachings, as well as the synthesis of Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist thought systems, demonstrating profound depth and breadth. This text is not only an important document for studying the Buddhist thought of Master Hanshan but also a precious resource for understanding the history and intellectual developments of late Ming Buddhism. It holds a revered position in Chinese Buddhism and has had a far-reaching influence on the development of Chan Buddhism and Buddhist doctrine in later generations.
