Hèshān chánshī zhí zhǒu jí 鶴山禪師執帚集
Broom-Holding Collection of Chán Master Hèshān — a two-juan Qīng Chán yǔlù-style collection by Hèshān 鶴山 (“Crane Mountain”). Compiled by his disciple Défū 德敷. The title’s zhí zhǒu 執帚 (“holding a broom”) is a classical self-deprecating monastic image, referring to the Chán master’s humble ongoing sweeping of his own and others’ delusion.
