Qīngchéng Zhúlàng Shēng chánshī yǔlù 青城竹浪生禪師語錄
Recorded Sayings of Chán Master Zhú-làng Shēng of Qīng-chéng [-shān] by 徹生 (說), 如鵬 (等編)
Seven-juan yǔlù of Zhúlàng Chèshēng 徹生 竹浪徹生 (b. 1634-02-25, death year unknown — was 60 in 1693), LínjìYángqí dharma-heir of Zhàngxuě Tōngzuì 丈雪通醉 (1610–1696). Native of Chuāndōng Dìngyuǎn 川東定遠 (Sìchuān), lay surname Wáng 王. Compiled by his fǎsì Yìyún Rúpéng 如鵬 děng biān. Documents teaching at Qīngchéngshān Fènglínsì 青城山鳳林寺 (his principal abbacy) and Chéngdū Zhāojuésì 昭覺寺 (succeeded his teacher in 康熙辛酉 = 1681, when Zhàngxuě turned 72).
The yǔlù is unusually rich in prefatorial materials — five prefaces in juan 1, by figures across the post-1681 Sìchuān cultural recovery: a regional tíxíng àncháshǐ judicial official (1683); 法弟 Chèzhōng 徹中 of Fúxī (1689); 法兄 Fóyuān Chègāng 佛冤徹綱 of Zhāojué (1693 autumn); the lay magistrate of Xiūwénxiàn (Guìzhōu) (1694 lantern festival); and most importantly Shèngkě Déyù 聖可德玉 德玉 (signed “華嵒拙叔” 華嵒拙叔, “the clumsy elder of Huáyán”) dated 康熙癸酉冬 = 1693 winter. notBefore = 1681 (Zhāojué succession); notAfter = 1694 (latest preface). Printed as Jiāxīng Canon J38 B427.
Contents. Juan 1: prefaces; Qīngchéngshān Fènglínsì shàngtáng (continuing through juan 2). Juan 3: xiǎocān, kāishì, kāibǎn, shūwèn (epistolary — fascinating sequence including 復上本師啟丁巳 = letter to teacher Zhàngxuě dated 丁巳 = 1677, plus letters to dharma-cousins Fóyuān and Léngméi 嵋雪). Juan 4: xíngyóu 行繇 (autobiographical narration), fēndēng (lineage-distribution = listing of his eleven dharma-heirs). Juan 5–6: poetry, zàn, fóshì. Juan 7: closing materials.

Other points of interest
The yǔlù is a primary source for two major Sì-chuān-region projects. First, the Jǐnjiāng chándēng 錦江禪燈 (X85 n1590), the regional Chán biographical anthology, was carried east to Jiāhé (Jiāxīng) by Chèshēng himself in 1693 to be engraved at Léngyánsì 楞嚴寺. Second, the cluster of prefaces by Shèngkě Déyù, Bùyàn Dàolè, and lay officials in 1693–1694 documents the consolidated Sìchuān post-Sānfān-luàn rebuilding effort — the same network around the Pòshān Hǎimíng lineage that produced KR6q0538 (Dàolè) and KR6q0539 (Fāyuán). Chèshēng’s seven-juan corpus and the Jǐnjiāng chándēng together form the textual capstone of late-Kāngxī Sìchuān Buddhist intellectual history.
