Yuánjiàn Guóshī yǔlù 圓鑑國師語録
Recorded Sayings of National Master Enkan by 順空 Zōzan Junkū (語); compiled by 侍者 (an unnamed attendant) (編)
About the work
A single-fascicle Recorded Sayings collection of 順空 Zōzan Junkū (1233–1308), Kamakura-period Japanese Rinzai-Zen master, posthumous title Enkan Kokushi 圓鑑國師 (“National Master Round-Mirror”). Compiled by an unnamed jisha (侍者, attendant).
Abstract
Junkū belonged to the Tōfuku-ji Shōichi-ha lineage. His single-fascicle yulu preserves the standard genre of Japanese Zen master Recorded Sayings — jōdō sermons, hōgo dharma-talks, and verses — compiled by his attendant-monks.
Significance: a Shōichi-ha yulu of the late thirteenth century, one of the smaller-scale Japanese Rinzai-Zen documentary witnesses to the Tōfuku-ji tradition.
