About the work
One-juan Táng Chán yǔlù, X69 n1322. Non-commentary; commentedTextid omitted.
Bǎizhàng’s teachings preserved here address both doctrinal-experiential awakening and monastic-disciplinary organisation. The classical formulation attributed to Bǎizhàng — “a day without work, a day without eating” (yī rì bù zuò, yī rì bù shí 一日不作一日不食) — encapsulates his institutional legacy of the self-supporting Chán monastery.
Dating: notBefore 820 (Bǎizhàng’s late-career teaching horizon); notAfter c. 900 (compilation-horizon).
