The Zongjing Lu (Records from the Ancestral Mirror) by
Chan master Yongming Yanshou (904-976 CE) is an unusual
Chan work, for it embraces the entire field of Chinese
Buddhism, including Chan. It cites a dizzying array of sources,
introducing readers to a comprehensive understanding of the
Buddha-dharma. The work is in one hundred fascicles; the
present translation is of fascicles 2, 3, & 4.
RANDOLPH S. WHITFIELD studied Chinese language
and literature at Leiden University. He has translated
various Chan works, including the Jingde Chuandeng Lu
(Records of the Transmission of the Lamp) in 8 volumes.

Yongming Yanshou (904-976) was a prominent Buddhist monk during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and early Song Dynasty in China.

Randolph S. Whitfield (b.1949, England) studied Classical Guitar and Piano at Trinity College of Music, London. Later he studied Chinese Language and Literature at Leiden University in Holland, to further a life-long interest in the practices of Chinese Chan Buddhism. He lives in Holland with his wife Mariana.
