Imperially Revised Baizhang Monastic Regulations continues the monastic code tradition established by Baizhang Huaihai and was systematically revised by Dehui during the Yuan dynasty. It comprehensively regulates Chan monastery abbots, monastic offices, meal offerings, ritual affairs, and daily conduct, exerting enormous influence on later generations. It is not only a key text for the institutional history of Chan Buddhism, but also a foundational source for observing Yuan and Ming temple organization, disciplinary practice, and monastic economy. This item is a printed edition from the third year of the Zhizheng era of the Yuan dynasty issued by Yu's En'an Hermitage, suitable for comparison with later reprints and recut editions.
