 | | The purpose of the current presentation is to examine the evolution of teachings attributed to Linji, starting with fragments appearing in (1) the Zutang ji, (2) the Zongjing lu, and (3) Jingde Chuandeng lu, and (4) the Tiansheng Guangdeng lu. |
 | | The presentation will focus on the fragments of Linji's teaching appearing in documents (1), (2), and (3), comparing the fragments to each other, and to how they are rendered in the standard, final form of Linji's teachings in documents (4) and (5). |
 | | I am particularly interested in examining the discrepancies, with an eye toward the extent to which factional considerations may have played a role, as documents (1), (2), and (3) were compiled by non-Linji faction members. |
