From the Foreword to the 2011 edition of Andrew Ferguson's compilation:
The Wudeng Huiyuan, the text from which Zen’s Chinese Heritage
is primarily drawn, is in many ways the pinnacle of the tradition of
accumulating the teachings of diverse masters set in various genres of
transmission of the lamp records, recorded sayings of individual teachers,
and gongan collections. Many of the sayings here are familiar to
readers from other sources, sometimes in slightly different versions,
which is itself an issue that is enjoyable and challenging to sort out. The
Compendium of Five Lamps is an incredibly rich resource that is very
deserving of this new edition.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.
