The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Konggu Daocheng is a collection of the teachings of the Qing Dynasty Linji school monk Daocheng, compiled by his disciple Deru and supplemented based on the Juben edition before publication. Completed during the Qing Dynasty, this work reflects the state of Chan development at that time, recording Master Daocheng’s essential teachings, sharp dialogues, and guidance on practice. Its content covers the theory of mind-nature, the view of emptiness, and the practice of Chan meditation, embodying the Linji school’s approach of directly pointing to the human mind, seeing one’s nature, and attaining Buddhahood. As an important Chan text from the Qing Dynasty, it provides valuable historical material for the study of modern Chan thought and practice. Occupying a pivotal position in Buddhist literature, it serves as a bridge between earlier and later periods, aiding in the understanding of the transmission and evolution of Chan methods during the Ming and Qing eras.
