The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Pinjixiang were spoken by the Qing Dynasty Chan master Zhixiang and compiled by his disciples, including Deneng, based on printed editions from the stable script. This record emerged during a significant period in the development of Chinese Buddhist Chan, documenting Chan Master Zhixiang's teachings, Dharma words, pointed dialogues, and essential principles of practice, collectively embodying the philosophical thought and practical characteristics of the Linji school. Its content encompasses methods of Chan investigation, discourses on mind-nature, and guidance for daily cultivation, expressed in concise language that points directly to the mind. This record serves as a precious document for studying Chan thought and practice in the Qing Dynasty, holding important academic value for understanding the transmission and development of the Linji school during that era, while also providing practical reference for modern practitioners.
