净土宗十三祖印光大师
The Pure Land Tradition’s 13th Patriarch Great Master Yìnguāng’s
《印光大师文钞菁华录》
‘Record Of Great Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings’ Essence’
《印光大师文钞菁华录》英译前言
Introduction To English Translation Of The ‘Record Of Great Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings’ Essence’
Delving into the heart of the matter of various important spiritual subjects, the many teachings of the Pure Land Tradition’s 13th Patriarch Great Master Yìnguāng (净土宗十三祖印光大师), totalling more than 3,000 in pieces long, medium and short, are compiled in ‘Dharma Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings (First, Second And Third Compilations)’《印光法师文钞》(正、续、三编).
Being so rich in content, they are often called a ‘Small Treasury Of Sūtras’《小藏经》, suggesting that to read them is as if to study a summary of the actual ‘Great Treasury Of Sūtras’《大藏经》taught by the Buddha. This can be seen as no exaggeration as the Great Master did personally study the Great Treasury in its entirety, not just once or twice, but at least three times. His writings can thus be regarded as reflections of the sūtras’ main teachings. Being the 13th Patriarch, his writings also present the most contemporary and relevant distillation of the 12 preceding Patriarchs’ main teachings.
Facing the great and possibly ‘intimidating’ volume of his writings, a good collection to start, for learning that crucial is the ‘Record Of Great Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings’ Essence’《印光大师文钞菁华录》, which compiles 333 key excerpts, without any repetitions. Yet, this number of parts to cover might still seem challenging for some. Thus, in order of priority, for those short of time, with death ever approaching and able to arrive at any time, the following sequence for study is recommended, from the briefer to the lengthier, with the preceding as part of the following.
[i] [205] ‘The Three Great Essentials When Approaching Death’《临终三大要》
[ii] [179] – [205] 4th Chapter: Discussion On Births And Deaths’ Great Matter: Third, Guidance On When Approaching Life’s End’s Definite Essentials (四、论生死事大: 丙、示临终切要)
[iii] [1] – [333] All of the ‘Record Of Great Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings’ Essence’《印光大师文钞菁华录》
[iv] ‘Record Of Dharma Master Yìnguāng’s Excellent Words’ (First And Second Compilations)《印光法师嘉言录》(正、续编)
[v] ‘Dharma Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings (First, Second And Third Compilations)’《印光法师文钞》(正、续、三编)
While [iv] ‘Record Of Dharma Master Yìnguāng’s Excellent Words’ (First And Second Compilations)《印光法师嘉言录》(正、续编) form a larger essential collection of the Great Master’s writings, [iii] ‘Record Of Great Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings’ Essence’《印光大师文钞菁华录》forms a smaller yet more quintessential collection of this writings in a single volume.
To date (16 July 2024), 187 entries of the ‘Record Of Great Master Yìnguāng’s Collected Writings’ Essence’《印光大师文钞菁华录》have been translated, with explanatory notes included. These parts include [i] and [ii], which are the most important in the whole collection, being the further ‘quintessences’ of the ‘Collected Writings’ Essence’. As translation and annotation work continues, the list of entries below will be updated until it is complete. For latest additions here, do remember this shortcut: purelanders.com/jinghualu.
