Zhúfēng Mǐn chánshī yǔlù 竺峰敏禪師語錄
Recorded Sayings of Chán Master Zhú-fēng Mǐn by 幻敏 (說), 性鉅 (等編), 性湛 (等編), 性珩 (等編), 性濟 (等編)
Six-juan yǔlù (+ 2 juan hòulù) of Zhúfēng Huànmǐn 幻敏 竺峰幻敏 (1639-01-18 – 1707-04-14, age 70, sēnglà 65 — exceptionally long, having been tonsured at age 10), Línjì 大慧 派 dharma-heir of Qìngzhōng Tiěbì Huìjī 慶忠鐵壁慧機 (1603–1668) in the Jùyún 聚雲 sub-line — thus a co-disciple of 燈炳 (KR6q0554), 玄億 (KR6q0555), and 至善 (KR6q0556). Native of Fēnglíng 酆陵 (Sìchuān), lay surname Xú 徐. Compiled jointly by four fǎsì: Xìngjù 性鉅, Xìngzhàn 性湛, Xìnghéng 性珩, Xìngjì 性濟. notBefore = 1668 (post-master-death succession at Qìngzhōng); notAfter = 1707 (death). Printed as Jiāxīng Canon J40 B483.
The yǔlù documents teaching at four abbacies, with Sìchuān Zhōngzhōu Chìjiàn Zhènzōng chánsì 四川忠州敕建振宗禪寺 (the imperially-bestowed Sìchuān seat) as the principal preaching site (juan 1–2). Five qǐngqǐ invitation-petitions are preserved at the head of juan 1, signed by Yáng prefect (郡侯), Liú sub-prefect (副府), and the prefectural gentry — establishing the imperial-state-supported character of the Zhènzōng abbacy.
Contents. Juan 1: preface; mùlù; five qǐngqǐ; Zhènzōngsì shàngtáng. Juan 2: continuing Zhènzōng yǔlù; xiǎocān. Juan 3: shìzhòng; cháhuà; jīyuán; fóshì (with the funeral cycle for Qìngzhōng lǎorén 慶忠老人 = Tiěbì Huìjī’s 1668 death — guàzhōng, rùguān, qǐkān, rùtǎ). Juan 4–6: continuing materials including the closing xíngzhuàng and fēndēng listing thirty-three fǎsì and eighteen lay disciples.

Other points of interest
KR6q0451 (the master Tiěbì’s 20-juan yǔlù re-edited by Huànmǐn) and KR6q0592 (Huànmǐn’s own 6-juan yǔlù) together form the principal LínjìDàhuì Jùyún 聚雲 / Qìngzhōng lineage textual record. Huànmǐn’s exceptionally long sēnglà (65 years, tonsured at age 10) places him among the most prolific southwestern Línjì lineage-builders of the Qīng era. The Lèngyánsì 楞嚴寺 abbacy at Jiāxīng directly connects him to the Jiāxīng Canon publication operation.
