DAYANG JINGXUAN, JINGYAN 
by Andy Ferguson 
In: Zen's Chinese Heritage: The Masters and Their Teachings, Wisdom
Publications, pp. 361-363.
<blockquote>
DAYANG JINGXUAN
(9431027) was a disciple of Liangshan Yuanguan, and a transmitter of the
Caodong Zen lineage. He came from ancient Jiangxia (now the city of Wuchang in
Hubei Province). He left lay life to enter Chongxiao Temple in Jinling. There he
Pgina 1
DayangJingxuan.txt
studied under Zen master Zhitong. At the age of nineteen, after ordination, he
left Jinling and traveled widely throughout the country. He first studied under
Zen master Yuanjiao Liaoyi. Unsuccessful with that teacher, he continued his
travels and eventually met and studied under Liangshan. He remained with
Liangshan for a long period, realizing enlightenment and becoming his Dharma
heir. When Liangshan died, Dayang traveled to Mt. Dayang in Yingzhou (now the
city of Jingshan in Hubei Province), where he assumed his mountain name. There
he met and studied with Zen master Huijian. When Huijian died, Dayang assumed
the abbacy of the temple. During the period 100816 Dayang changed his name from
Jingxuan to Jingyan.*
<blockquote>
*Dayang made
this change due to a then current taboo on using the word xuan.
</blockquote>
During Dayangs
life, the Caodong school of Zen experienced serious decline. At the age of
eighty, Dayang despaired that the Caodong Zen line had no worthy heirs and would
cease to exist when he died. He then took the highly unusual step of enlisting
the assistance of the eminent Linji lineage teacher Fushan Fayuan, entrusting to
him the Dharma transmission of the Caodong school.157 Dayang then passed away,
and the essential teachings of Caodong remained with Fushan, who was a famous
master of Linji Zen. After many years, Fushan encountered Touzi Yiqing, an
exceptional young monk and worthy Dharma vessel. To him, Fushan transmitted
the heritage that he previously inherited from Dayang Jingxuan.
Dayangs first
encounter with Liangshan is recorded in the Wudeng Huiyuan.
<blockquote>
Upon first
meeting Liangshan, Dayang asked, What is the formless place of
realization?
Liangshan
pointed to a painting of Kwan Yin and said, This was painted by Wu
Chu.
Dayang was
about to speak when Liangshan cut him off, saying, Does this have form? Where
is the form?
At these
words, Dayang awakened. He then bowed.
said, Why dont you say something?
Dayang said,
Its true I dont speak, and I fear putting it to brush and paper.
laughed and said, Engrave the words on a stone memorial!
Dayang then
offered the following verse:
<blockquote>
Formerly my
means of studying the Way were confused, 
Seeking
understanding among myriad streams and countless mountains. 
But
Pgina 2

immediate clarity is not found by sorting through the past. 
Directly speaking no mind engendered more delusion. 
Then, a
teacher revealed my situation upon leaving Qin, 
Illuminating the time before my parents birth. 
And
now, everything realized, what has been attained? 
The
night frees crow and cock to fly with the snow.
</blockquote>
said, Here the Dongshan line is entrusted.
In time,
Jingxuans reputation spread widely.
 
A monk asked
Dayang, What is a phrase that penetrates the dharmakaya?
Red dust rises from the bottom of the sea. Rivers flow sideways at Mt. Sumerus
summit.
 
A monk asked
Dayang, What is Dayangs state of being?
A gaunt crane and an old ape call across the valley in harmony. A slender pine
and the cold bamboo are enveloped in blue mist.
The monk
said, What about the person in that state?
What are you doing? What are you doing?
asked, What is the masters family style?
A full pitcher that cant be emptied. Across the great earth, no one
hungry.
 
A monk asked,
What is a phrase that embodies infinite clarity?
When the finger points at emptiness, heaven and earth revolve. On the returning
path, a stone horse emerges from a gauze basket.
 
A monk asked,
What is a person who has completely arrived?
Throughout vast emptiness no such thing exists.
said, What is the pure dharmakaya?
A white ox spits up white silk. A black horse rides a crow.

Zen master
Dayang entered the hall and addressed the monks, saying, A
ten-thousand-foot-high peak and a precipitous path to the top, beset with
swords, knives, and ice! Who can walk this path? The phrase of the wondrous
vehicle cannot be found on the path of words. As to the unsurpassed Dharma gate,
even Vimalakirti remained close-lipped. For this reason, Bodhidharma came from
the west, sat facing a wall for nine years, and thus allowed us to learn of it.
Oh, look how Im carrying on today! Take care!
 
After his
death, Dayang received the posthumous title Great Teacher Bright Peace.
