Excerpts from the Dharma Collection and Special Practice Record

Text

Chinul's substantial commentary on Zongmi's Chan-doctrinal compendium, the longest of his works. It systematises the relationship between Hwaŏm philosophy and Seon practice, defending kanhwa (kōan) practice in the lineage of Dahui while preserving the Korean integration of doctrinal study with meditative cultivation.
