Abstract
Woodblock edition of Tōrei's text, published posthumously by his disciples. It includes letters Tōrei wrote to lay correspondents and followers. This edition begins with two forewords, the first one by his disciple Tairei Shōkan 太靈紹鑑・太霊紹鑑 (1724–1807), and the second one by Shōdō Ryōe 照道了慧 (d. 1820) and Muin Gennyo 霧隠玄如・霧隱玄如 (n.d.). The whole work is made of three fascicles, plus an appendix including twenty-one poems in cursive Hiragana script (Dōka nijūisshu 道歌二十一首).
Description
There are a few later Japanese editions of this text: • The one included in the Complete Works of Hakuin (Hakuin oshō zenshū 白隱和尚全集 巻7: 247–294. • The one included in Zenmon hōgoshū 禪門法語集 巻2: 301–338. • A modern 1990 edition by Meibo kenshōkai 名墓顕彰会 (includes an additional afterword by Muin Gennyo 霧隠玄如・霧隱玄如).
