Augmented-and-Revised Pure-Rules for Doctrinal-Garden [Tiāntái Monasteries] edited by 自慶 (Zìqìng / Yúnwài Zìqìng, 編述)
About the work
A two-juan Yuán-period revision by Yúnwài Zìqìng 雲外自慶 of the qīngguī 清規 (pure-rules) monastic regulations for Tiāntái-school institutions (jiàoyuàn 教苑 — “doctrinal gardens,” the Tiāntái-school monastic designation distinguishing them from Chán-school institutions).
Abstract
The composition is bracketed within the Yuán productive period (1271–1368). The work belongs to the broader medieval Buddhist qīngguī tradition that includes the foundational 百丈清規 of Chán Buddhism and parallel monastic regulations for the various Buddhist schools.
