The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Hanxiu is a collection of the teachings of the eminent Linji School monk Hanxiu Ruqian from the Qing Dynasty, compiled by his disciples such as Jiyao. Completed in the early Qing period, this work reflects the intellectual landscape of Chan Buddhism during its continuation and revival in the late Ming and early Qing eras. Its contents encompass formal sermons, sharp dialogues, commentaries on ancient cases, poetic verses, and personal correspondence, vividly illustrating Master Hanxiu's profound Chan insights and skillful methods of guiding students. As a significant text of the Linji School, this record serves not only as a crucial resource for studying early Qing Chan style, but also offers timeless guidance for later practitioners through its direct and penetrating wisdom. It holds an important place within the broader tradition of recorded sayings in Chinese Buddhism.
