Pure-Land-Yearning Poems of the Natural-As-It-Is Layman — a one-juan Qīng Chán–Pure-Land integrative poetic collection by the lay Buddhist Zhū Dàozé 朱道則 (hào Tiānrán jūshì 天然居士 “Natural-As-It-Is Layman”). Compiled by Míngkāng 明康.
About the work
A one-juan Chán-Pure-Land poetic collection, J40 B495. Non-commentary; commentedTextid omitted.
The text’s doctrinal framing is the classical Yǒngmíng Yánshòu integration: “Outside Chán one does not speak of Pure Land; one must know that outside Pure Land there is no Chán” (chán wài bù céng tán jìng tǔ, xū zhī jìng tǔ wài wú chán 禪外不曾談淨土，須知淨土外無禪). The poems express the Chán-Pure-Land integrative devotion — yearning for rebirth in Amitābha’s Pure Land while maintaining Chán-experiential awakening as foundation.
