Other points of interest
This third-generation Jùyún 聚雲 lineage yǔlù (Tiěbì → Huànmǐn → Jiàntáng Yī) extends the Sìchuān LínjìDàhuì record into the early 18th century. The fóshì section records mortuary rituals for fellow monks including the unusual 性心尼下火 (cremation of nun Xìngxīn) — indicating Jiàntáng’s monastery hosted both monks and nuns.
