Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Pufeng Changming Jiong This text is the recorded transmission of Dharma by the eminent Qing Dynasty Linji school master Xingjiong, compiled and printed by his disciple Haidong based on a manuscript. Chan Master Xingjiong was active in the early Qing period. His recorded sayings fully embody the Linji school's approach of directly pointing to the human mind, seeing one's nature, and attaining Buddhahood. The collection includes Dharma discourses from the hall, sharp dialogues of encounter, and commentaries on ancient cases and verses, demonstrating the master's wisdom in guiding students and the true spirit of the Chan tradition. As an important Chan document from the Qing Dynasty, these recorded sayings serve not only as primary source material for the study of Ming-Qing Buddhist thought but also as a vital guide for practitioners investigating mind and nature. Within the system of Chinese Buddhist recorded sayings, they hold significant academic value for connecting past and future, as well as profound practical meaning.
