Hsüeh-tou Chʾung-hsien
Hsüeh-tou Chʾung-hsien (Jap., Setchō Jūken; 982–1052). Chinese Ch'an/Zen master of the Yün-men (Ummon) school, a great poet, who laid the foundations of the hundred verses of the Pi-yen-lu (Jap., Hekigan-roku; The Blue Cliff Record). Yüan-wu K'o-ch'in took up and extended the work, making it into the most important collection (along with Wu-men-kuan) of Zen kōans. To the two basic texts (the cases of enlightenment experience, and the verses) Yüan-wu added notes and a commentary. Thus for each of the hundred examples, there are seven parts: introduction, case, notes, commentary, verse, notes, commentary.
