The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Haichuang Azi Wu is a compilation of the teachings of the eminent Chan master Jinwu of the Qing Dynasty, re-edited by his disciple Jinbian and published according to the Juben edition. Master Jinwu was an important lineage holder of the Caodong school during the late Ming and early Qing periods, active at Haichuang Temple in Guangdong. His thought inherits the lineage of Dongshan while incorporating characteristics of his era. The recorded sayings encompass Dharma talks from the hall, sharp dialogues of encounter, instructional verses, and more, vividly demonstrating the essence of his Chan practice and skillful means of guiding students, emphasizing the mind-ground approach and immediate awareness. This text not only documents the authentic style of Chan Buddhism in the Lingnan region during the early Qing but also serves as a crucial canonical source for studying the evolution of Caodong school thought, holding irreplaceable academic value and practical guidance within the system of recorded sayings in Chinese Buddhism.
