About the
Pi-yen-lu (J. Hekiganroku, E. The Blue Cliff Record) koans
Pi-yen-lu, Biyanlu, Biyan-lu , Fu-kuo Yüan-wu Ch'an-shih Pi-yen-lu,
Cho Pi Yan Lu (C.), (J. Hekiganroku; Records of Blue Rock Temple, Blue
Cliff Record, Blue Cliff Records, Blue Rock Collection). A collection
of 100 koans originally compiled, with appreciatory verses, by
Hsüeh-tou Ch'ung-hsien (J. Setcho Juken) under a name of the
'Priest Hsüeh-tou 's Capping Verses on One Hundred Cases'.
The volume was subsequently given commentaries, pointers and notes by
Yüan-wu K'o-ch'in (J. Engo Kokugon).
Although it is a text of fundamental importance for koan study in the
Rinzai School it was also studied by Eihei Dogen, the founder
of the japanese Soto school, who on the return from Zen studies in
China brought with him to Japan a handwritten copy of the document.
The Pi-yen-lu koan collection served also as a model and a pattern for
other works such as the Ts'ung-jung-lu (Book of Equanimity). The text
was published in Japan as a part of the 'Taisho shinshu daizokyo'
(Buddhist Canon Published in the Taisho Era). (1924-1934), No. 2003,
Vol. 48.
English language fragments of the text have been published online, without any bibliographical details [it might be, possibly, a document by Yamada Koun roshi - ed.], by The Sanbo Kyodan Zen-Buddhist Religious Foundation as a 111KB PDF document, http://web.archive.org/web/20041212180129/http://homepage3.nifty.com/sanbo-zen/Hekigan-Eg.pdf .
