Other points of interest
This yǔlù completes a teacher-disciple-grand-disciple sequence within the Fèi-yǐn-line abbacy succession at the Xiángfèngshān Zīfúsì ↔ Shímén Fúyánsì complex: 行觀 (1616–1681, KR6q0562) → 超啟 (entered Zīfúsì 1690, this text) → … The 1701 preface by 普明法弟 places the publication exactly at the master’s late-career consolidation; both abbacies (Zīfú and Fúyán) had originally been built up by 行觀 and were inherited by his Mì-yún-line successors.
