禪苑淸規

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: Chanyuan qinggui

Senses:

  • 10 fasc.; compiled by the Chan monk Changlu Zongze 長蘆宗賾 in 1101–1103. It is the oldest extant book of regulations for a Chan monastery. Also known as the 崇寧淸規, 重雕補註禪苑淸規, and 禪規. Contained in Zokuzōkyō No. 1245. Since significant portions of the original version of Baizhangʼs Pure Rules 百丈古淸規 had been lost, Zongze endeavored to fill this lacuna in the Chan tradition by putting together the materials available to him at that time. This work subsequently held great influence in China, Korea, and Japan. An annotated English translation of the Chanyuan qinggui has been done by Ven. Yifa in the book The Origins of Buddhist Monastic Codes in China, Kuroda Institute, Honolulu: University of Hawai`i Press, 2002. [Charles Muller, Dan Lusthaus; source(s): Yokoi, FGD]
