鎮州臨濟慧照禪師語錄 1.15

1.15

琅瑘覺傳泐潭月，月傳毘陵真，真傳白水白，白傳天寧黨，黨傳慈照純，純傳鄭州寶，寶傳竹林藏、慶壽亨、少林鑑。慶壽亨傳東平汴、大原昭，少林鑑傳法王通，通傳安閑覺，覺傳南京智、西菴贇，南京智傳壽峯湛，西菴贇傳雪堂仁——雪堂乃臨濟十八世孫也。莫不門庭孤峻，機辯縱橫，俱是克家子孫，燈燈續焰直至如今，可謂源清流長，此之謂也。

Langye Jue transmitted to Letan Yue; Yue transmitted to Zhen of Piling; Zhen transmitted to Bai of Baishui; Bai transmitted to Dang of Tianning; Dang transmitted to Chun of Cizhao; Chun transmitted to Bao of Zhengzhou; Bao transmitted to Zang of Zhulin, Heng of Qingshou, and Jian of Shaolin. Heng of Qingshou transmitted to Bian of Dongping and Zhao of Taiyuan; Jian of Shaolin transmitted to Tong of Fawag; Tong transmitted to Jue of Anxian; Jue transmitted to Zhi of Nanjing and Yun of Xi'an; Zhi of Nanjing transmitted to Zhan of Shoufeng; Yun of Xi'an transmitted to Xuetang Ren—Xuetang being the eighteenth-generation descendant of Linji. There was none whose house style was not solitary and steep, their dynamic eloquence unrestrained, all being worthy descendants of the family, lamp passing flame to lamp straight down to the present; it can truly be said that the source is clear and the stream runs long—this is what it means.
