Zazengi Talks

The Zuòchán Yí or Principles of Zazen (Chinese: 坐禅儀), is a short Chan Buddhist meditation manual attributed to a monk named Changlu Zongze (flourished c. turn of the 12th century) during the Northern Song dynasty (CE 960 - 1126) which exemplifies the practice of seated meditation which aims at "sudden" enlightenment. According to Peter Gregory it is the "earliest known work of its kind in the Zen tradition." The Zuòchán Yí was later revised and expanded in 1202 by You Xiang and this version was published together with Changlu Zongze's monastic code Chanyuan Qinggui "Pure Regulations of the Chan Preserve", the earliest extant Chan monastic code, which was widely circulated.
