Other points of interest
This yǔlù extends the Pòshān → Ěrdú Dàotài branch of the Sìchuān LínjìYángqí lineage into a third generation; the four DōngChuān (eastern Sìchuān) abbacies — Línshuǐ, Dàzhú, Wànxiàn, Shèhóng — fill in important monastic geography otherwise less well-attested in the Sì-chuān-cluster Jiā-xīng-canon entries.
