Hèfēng chánshī yǔlù 鶴峰禪師語錄
Recorded Sayings of Chán Master Hè-fēng by 濟悟 (說), 上震 (等編)
Two-juan yǔlù of Hèfēng Jìwù 濟悟 鶴峰濟悟 (1626-11-08 – 1687-10-16, age 62, jièlà 44), LínjìYángqí dharma-heir of Língyǐn Jùdé Hónglǐ 靈隱具德弘禮 (1600–1667). Native of Wúmén 吳門 (Sūzhōu), lay surname Fèi 費. Compiled by his sole fǎsì Shàngzhèn 上震 děng biān. The yǔlù documents his teaching across six successive lower-Yangtze abbacies: Lóngtán Fúshàn 龍潭福善 (the seat that gave him his sobriquet Lóngtán Hèfēng), Gūsū Bǎoshù 姑蘇寶樹, Dānghú Zhúyǐn 當湖竺隱, Tóngxī Jìzhào 桐溪寂照, Púshuǐ Fúshàn 濮水福善, and Fúshòu chánlín 福壽禪林 (Tóngxiāng).
Three prefaces are preserved: by his co-disciple Ānshān tóngméndì Jìrì 安山同門弟濟日 dated 康熙壬申皋月之望 = 1692-06-29 (Kāngxī 31, lunar 5/15); by 法弟 Zhòng Hóngdào 仲弘道 dated 康熙壬申歲次十月 = 1692-11; and by his Língyǐn tóngméndì (co-disciple at Língyǐn) Huìlù 慧輅 dated 康熙歲次乙亥季夏 = 1695 summer. notBefore ≈ 1670 (post-Hóng-lǐ-death abbacies began ca. 1668–1670); notAfter = 1695 (latest preface). Printed as Jiāxīng Canon J38 B421.
Contents. Juan 1: three prefaces, mùcì, shēngzuò (= shàngtáng), xiǎocān, shìzhòng, jīyuán, niānsòng. Juan 2: fóshì (a substantial collection of cremation/sealing-coffin/funerary verses for fellow monks and lay donors), xíngzhuàng, and tǎmíng (stupa-inscription) — the principal sources for his life.

Other points of interest
The fóshì section in juan 2 is unusually rich — providing a full panorama of mid-Kāngxī-era Sūzhōu / Tóng-xiāng-area LínjìYángqí Buddhist mortuary practice across both clerical and lay sponsorship contexts.
