Chan Master Huanglong Xin studied with Elder Jue and attained the essential principle, succeeding to the seat at Huanglong; the ancestral style flourished greatly, and he was earnestly devoted to pure karma, composing an 'Essay Encouraging Buddhamanasikāra' that circulated in the world, causing people to arouse sorrow and generate faith. Chan Master Zhenxie Qingliao was the heir of Danxia Chun; the Caodong lineage was greatly manifested through him; later he established a hermitage on Mount Putuo called Ganjue, dedicated his intent exclusively to the Western Direction, and wrote 'Discourses on the Pure Land' to universally encourage the four assemblies. Chan Master Cishou Huaizhen received the Dharma from Changlu Zongxin; focusing his mind on buddhamanasikāra, he maintained that for the shortcuts in cultivation, none surpasses the Pure Realm; he built a Western sanctuary and earnestly exhorted the assembly, transforming them with great accord. Dharma Master Shizhi Faxiao was the heir of Yuetang Wuxun; penetrating the doctrinal teachings, he converted people through pure karma; he once collected various texts from the Great Canon and compiled the 'Anthology on the Land of Joy' (Lebang wenlei), which circulates in the world. Chan Master Jidang Zongyuan studied Chan under Mian Xianjie; practicing the buddhānusmṛti-samādhi diligently, he moved a golden-armored deity to descend from heaven and dreamed of red lotus blossoms emerging from the ground, whereafter the Lotus School flourished greatly in the ten prefectures. Chan Master Zhongfeng Mingben received the Dharma from Gaofeng Yuanmiao; people looked up to him like Mount Tai and the Northern Dipper; he had one hundred poems on 'Cherishing the Pure Land' that were widely transmitted in the world. Wang Yining, auxiliary academician, called himself a disciple of Amitābha. Hanlin Academician Chao Yuezhi, in a letter replying to Zhao Zi'ang, affirmed that the Western Pure Land is a true word and a real word. Chen Guan, auxiliary academician, composed the 'Record of the Pure Land Cloister at Yanqing Monastery,' exceedingly praising buddhamanasikāra. Patriarch Youdan resided at the Shanfa Hall of Donglin on Mount Lu, authored the Precious Mirror of the Lotus School (Lianzong baojian), which was carved into printing blocks by imperial decree, marking a revival of the Pure Land. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.35) - [Next: 3.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.37) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.3.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.3.36) · Pramāṇa
