Péng Xīsù 彭希涑 (1761 – 16 November 1793), Qīng-dynasty Pure-Land lay-devotee; hào Lèyuán 樂園, Lántái 蘭臺. Native of Yuánhé 元和 (the Sūzhōu prefectural town). Nephew (cóngzǐ 從子) of the eminent late-Qīng lay-Buddhist scholar Pang Shàoshēng 彭紹升 (1740–1796, hào Èrlín jūshì 二林居士), whose 《居士傳》 Jūshì zhuàn (X88 no. 1646) is the standard Qīng compendium of Chinese lay-Buddhist biography.
According to the Jìngtǔ shèngxián lù xùbiān (X1550) — the continuation of his own work — Péng compiled the 《淨土聖賢錄》 Jìngtǔ shèngxián lù (KR6r0080, X78 no. 1549, 9 juan) together with his wife Gùshì 顧氏, the two of them transcribing biographical materials by lamplight (gōu dēng chāoxiě 篝燈鈔寫). The work is the principal early-Qīng compendium of Chinese Pure-Land biographies — patriarchs, eminent monks, lay devotees, women, and animal-rebirths — and quickly became the standard Qīng-period reference for the Pure-Land hagiographical tradition. Péng died young at age 33 in Qiánlóng 乾隆 58 / 10 / 13 (= 16 November 1793).
The continuation of his work — Jìngtǔ shèngxián lù xùbiān (KR6r0081, X78 no. 1550) — was prepared by Hú Tǐng 胡𤥻 (= 胡珽), an early-Republic-era Pure-Land lay-devotee, more than a century later. Per DILA Buddhist Person Authority A001187.
