The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Sanshan Lai is a transmitted work by the eminent monk of the Linji school in the Qing Dynasty, Chan Master Sanshan Lai, compiled by his disciple Puding. The original catalogue of the entire work comprises twenty-eight volumes. This first printed edition is volume seventeen, part two, marked as a subsequent printing, holding significant textual value. The content includes the master's formal hall discourses, sharp dialogues of Chan encounter, teachings for the assembly, and gāthā verses, collectively embodying his Chan thought and methods of guiding disciples. As an important Chan text of the Qing Dynasty, this record not only reflects the practice style and intellectual transmission within Chan communities in the early Qing period but also holds key significance for studying the lineage spread of the Linji school and the development of Chan thought. It serves as a precious practical guide and historical resource among Buddhist scriptures.


三山禪師語錄敘
於戲!宗風之盛,未有如今日者也。欽惟世祖章皇帝崇信桑門,屈己徵訪,而江漢之東,緇流如織,靡不走名山、敦實行。無論有種苾芻,略筌蹄、探要領;即負舂職爨之鈍漢,咸知側耳傾心,欲於言下了明大義。至今匡廬、衡、霍之間士大夫、高蹈林泉者,往往持珠茹素,倣東林而證西旨。信乎!宗風之盛未有如今日者也。雖然,五葉相傳,流波漸遠。虛衷汲引者,未免弘甄拔以導群迷;獵志聲華者,輒冀越庭階而窺堂奧。極盛而衰,日趨於下,至欲以鄭五歇後作菩提啞謎;嗇夫利口詮無遮上乘。逞辯言為機鋒、剿陳說為把柄,謬相承襲,妄自誇張,而謂直指單傳不煩漸臻而躐致也,可勝慨哉!是以海內之士,留心斯道者,日引領夫作家宗匠,奮大力以挽頹風;乃若出世入世、因人度人,震吼獅音,俾群狐辟易,則端有望於今之三山禪師矣!
師乃大慧十六世之嫡嗣。於聚雲吹萬大師為孫,慶忠鐵壁大師為子。其源流、行實具載諸名流論列中,余無容復贅,余惟幸聚雲之派得師而益昌;大慧之傳得師而不謬也。余與師遊者有年,而卒莫能窺其涯際。今試讀其《語錄》,覺指點棒喝之下,頓使黠者泣、慧者騃,惘然喪其懷。來者如羈旅之人,偶聞鄉語而戚戚,即不能遽返故國,亦庶幾時切思歸之隱焉!
師之弘宣法化,大唱宗猷,不執公案而終不悖公案;不廢言詮而究不墮言詮者,其本諸積漸而然耶?其無所擬議而然耶?余於師真莫能窺其涯際也。間嘗以臆度之,蓋師早年役志於儒,六經之旨無所不窮、百氏之書無所不讀,旁搜博採、研精殫思,而後洞見本源,所謂歷盡群山而始識太岳之高,涉盡群川而後知東洋之大。故其言之,條分縷晰而不離其宗,橫見側出而悉軌於正,以視今之扣槃揣籥而為優孟衣冠以欺世惑眾者,其相去為何如耶?師之《語錄》且充棟,舊雖刻而未全,茲請略為編次,以付諸梓而公於世。余惟願讀《語錄》者,勿於印板上尋行數墨,以語言文字求吾師,當思吾師,一棒一喝不放空;橫說豎說不放鬆,是必有本來真面目而不在區區語言文字間也。十方同志儻能信及余言,庶吾師歷年來所以現清淨身、吐廣長舌者,一片婆心得以昭揭於天下。今日宗風之日,即於濫得聚雲之冢孫為之砥柱狂瀾,可以克昌厥後而勿替也。特書之,以附於簡端。
時大清康熙戊申上元日,南浦養元居士譚詣題於雲安之靜修齋。
