Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: Chanlin baoxun

Senses:

  • Four fascicles, T 2022. This work was compiled by Jing Shan 淨善 (n.d.) during the Song dynasty 宋代 and published during the Ming dynasty 明代. The epilogue dates the publication to 1378. Initially, the work was called Chanmen baoxun 禪門寶訓 (Precious Regulations for the Chan School). At some point, its name was altered to Chanlin baoxun (Precious Regulations for Chan monasteries). The first fascicle, which contains one-hundred paragons based on the biographies and recorded sayings 語錄 of ancient masters, was compiled by Dahui Zonggao 大慧宗杲 (1089–1163), and Zhuan Shigui 竹庵士珪 (1083–1146). To these, Jing Shan added a second fascicle, which contains two-hundred additional examples of his own. The work was a subject to many commentaries throughout the history of the Chan school, such as the Chanlin baoxun yinyi 禪林寶訓音義 by Dajia 大建 (n.d.) published during the Ming; Chanlin baoxun niansong 禪林寶訓拈頌 compiled by Xing Sheng 行盛 (–1671); Chanlin baoxun shunzhu 禪林寶訓順硃 compiled by Deyu 德玉 (1628–1701); and Chanlin baoxun bishuo 禪林寶訓筆說 by Zhixiang 智祥 (1637–1709), all published during the Qing dynasty 淸代.
