The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Shishuang Erzhanzun is a transmitted work of the eminent monk Shishuang Erzhanzun of the Linji school from the Qing dynasty, compiled and edited by his disciples such as Benkai. This record contains the master's teachings, Dharma words, sharp dialogues, and verses, vividly reflecting his rigorous, direct Chan style and profound insight into the nature of mind. The content deeply elucidates the Chan principle of illuminating the mind and realizing its nature, integrating the essence of kanhua Chan and mozhao Chan, while offering critiques of the shortcomings within the Chan community during the Ming-Qing transition. This text not only serves as an important document for studying the evolution of Chan thought in the Qing dynasty but also profoundly influenced the later transmission of the Linji lineage. It provides an authoritative guide for practitioners investigating the ultimate truth, holding an indispensable position within the system of recorded sayings in Chinese Buddhism.
