Abstract
In order to elucidate the details of the formation of the Chanmen Risong, a text of Chinese Buddhist lessons and rituals practiced every day at temple of the Qing Dynasty, we must first clarify the historical context of the Zhujing Risong Jiyao, the archetype of the Chanmen Risong, edited by Yunqi Zhuhong. This paper analyzes several editions of the Zhujing Risong, in particular its relationship with the Zenlin Kaju and the Obaku Shingi, whose rituals were practiced in Edo period Japan, and led to historical changes.
