The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Changmudian is a transmission record of the Qing Dynasty Chan monk Changmudian, compiled by his disciple Wuben and published according to the Juben edition. Chan Master Changmudian was active in the early Qing Dynasty within the Linji school lineage; his thought inherits the Chan style of the Tang and Song dynasties. The content primarily consists of Dharma talks from the hall, sharp dialogues of encounter, and verses of instruction for the assembly, vividly presenting the characteristics of his Chan approach which directly points to the human mind and sees one's nature to attain Buddhahood. This text is an important document for the study of early Qing Chan Buddhism, particularly the development of the Linji school, and holds significant historical value for understanding the customs of Chan communities and cultivation practices of that time, occupying a place within the system of recorded sayings in Chinese Buddhism.


敘

Preface

余乃楚之孝感世宦,攻儒業,生平專以文學為念,貪浮名幻利為樂,竟不知鼻祖之門庭、單傳之要玅。余任江南池州府推官,一日私遊九華,探閱藏經,細覽《景德傳燈》,閱至分燈錄,觀吾儒中從上諸大老、大護法者,不過於裴公深領黃檗之痛棒。有蘇東坡老先生者,往往與佛印酬酢,後法嗣東林禪師,雖是海內名公,爭奈鼻孔被人穿卻。有黃庭堅先生,選館太史,好作艷詞,嘗謁圓通秀和尚,日有慕道之心,後法嗣黃龍禪師,雖是聰明之人,難出頭陀之手。有張無盡先生,乃閣下侍郎,提刑兩浙,嘗以佛道留心,遍參天下大善知識,機鋒掣電,後法嗣兜率悅禪師,一語雜著落在法海窟中,一念萬年去也。陸亙大夫法嗣南泉和尚,嘗向口角邊討鹽覓醬喫,有麼奇特?余雖露布諸大老之醜,未免今日又被長目禪師錐著痛處,要請作敘,自露己之醜。長目禪師者,乃同條梓邦寶郡鄧氏之子也。年少薙髮,傲骨名山,經歷江海,單瓢隻杖,泛吳楚,過洞庭,涉滇雲,尋訪賢士。至彌陽大隱寺,撞著冤家路頭恒秀大和尚,奪下腰包,隨侍一載,授手歸山。至蒙自白雲山中,坐靜三載,又策杖河西普應山圓明寺坐靜。余奉命改補河西知日,往謁之,見其師之嚴護,尊其師之威德,非彼國之師乎?乃天上人間荷賴之津梁矣。余敬誠拜問:「師之何派?」師曰:「吾西蜀破山之派,幻翁之孫,恒公之子。」余曰:「自古道:龍生龍子,鳳生鳳兒。」余閱師坐靜,鄉紳護法請上堂、小參、語錄、詩歌少許,如珠滾盤,出於大方,句句奪大慧杲之體裁、字字雜圓悟勤之骨髓,料揀截中峰本之舌頭、棒喝劈洪覺範之正眼,四大家攪成一團,捷徑為己。倘今之相季,或久參衲子、或初進晚學,若睹師之語錄,縱有宗眼精明、透徹古今者,適難窺師之涯岸;縱有胸負五車者,讀師之語錄,未免如水中撈月、鏡裏簪花,何能下手乎?但師為人孤硬,不與時人同類,草衣木食,日持大悲聖號千遍;舌湧香泉,獨栖圓明破寺。做務無暇,掀翻華藏世界;觸著磕著,盡用本地家風。一縱一奪,挽回萬峰疊翠;一殺一活,競起海上騰波。余雖住在塵勞堆裏、聲色窩窟,動靜語默安敢自欺?無時不在無底缽盂裏嚼鐵釘飯、酒肆淫房內臥無畏床。雖然如是,黃面老子曾分半座,今日與師同一鼻孔,兩處出氣。
楚孝感張象賁頓首謹撰

I bow my head and reverently write this.
