洞山悟本禪師語錄

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Dongshan Wuben

Senses:

  • One fascicle. The record of Chan master Dongshan Liangjie 洞山良价 (807–869); also known as the Dongshan yulu 洞山語錄. It was compiled in 1739 by Gimoku Genkai 宜默玄契 (n.d.), a Japanese scholar-monk of the Sōtō school 曹洞宗. Wuben Chanshi was Dongshanʼs posthumous title. Sasaki et al. argue that Gimoku based his work, at least partially, on Dongshan texts contained in the Wujiayulu 五家語錄. Additionally, Gimoku included in his work material from an earlier Japanese Records of Dongshan 洞山語錄, only the title of which is extant today, several of the Masterʼs poems, and his Wuweisong 五位頌 (verse on the five ranks), the latter of which Gimoku had taken from a Japanese edition of the Tozan goi kenketsu 洞山五位顯訣 (X1236). Some years later Gimoku discovered new manuscript material on Dongshan in the district of Izumo 出雲 (Shimane 嶋根 prefecture). Gimoku published these materials as a supplement to his Tōzan goroku under the title Tōzan gohon zenshi goroku no yo 洞山悟本禪師語錄之餘 (T 1986A.47.0517a14). For a Japanese translation, followed by Chinese character text see: Kokuyaku Zenshū sōsho 國譯禪宗叢書. Tokyo, Kokuyaku Zenshū Sōsho Kankōkai, 1919–1931, vol. 8. [Erez Joskovich]
