The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Qianshan Shengren is a compilation of the teachings of Hanker, a Caodong School monk from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, assembled by his disciples Yuanfu and others, recorded and preserved by Jinxiu and others, and now re-published by Jinlu following the block-printed edition. Living through the transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hanker experienced the devastation of his country and the loss of his family. His recorded sayings embody profound Chan thought and a spirit of loyalty and righteousness. The content includes sermons, informal teachings, public discourses, Dharma talks, poetry, and prose, reflecting his Chan practice insights and compassionate spirit. As an important document of a Ming loyalist monk, this work not only serves as a valuable resource for studying Hanker's Chan teachings and the history of Buddhism during the Ming-Qing transition but also illustrates the spiritual resilience and intellectual evolution of Chan Buddhism in times of turmoil.


剩人和尚像

Portrait of Saintly Monk

未言先契,未舉先知,掉得便行,頂天立地。且道是阿誰?就是這個頑皮兒。我當時囑付汝緊收拾,直入千峰萬峰去。汝不依吾言,惹出許多葛藤。雖然,卻因風吹火,希慈雲兮洒甘露。咦,看來一味信前緣,留與三韓作鼻祖。

Before a word is spoken, there is already resonance; before an action is taken, there is already knowing. Once you drop all attachments, you can act freely, standing tall between heaven and earth. Who is this? It is this playful, stubborn one. Back then, I urged you to carefully pack up and head straight into the countless peaks—peak after peak. But you did not follow my words, and so you stirred up so many tangled vines. Even so, this is like using the wind to start a fire; may the merciful clouds shower sweet rain. Ah, it seems everything is just following preordained conditions—so I leave this to the three Korean kingdoms, to be their founding teacher.
