This paper reports research on the preface of the Chanlin beiyong qinggui 禅林備用清規. This is a document relevant to rules and regulations about systems and living norms in Chan Temples in the Yuan dynasty. It was compiled from the 15th Year of the Zhiyuan 至元 period(1278 AD) to the 4th year of the Zhida 至大 period (1311 AD) by Chan Master Zeshan Yixian 沢山弌咸 in the Lushan Donglin temple. Works such as the Lüyuan shigui 律苑事規 were created based on this. Furthermore the Chixiu Baizhang qinggui 勅修百丈清規, seen as a model of temple regulations, was finished after referring to this. Although listed in the Zokuzōkyō 続蔵経, the first half of the preface is missing, and it is believed that it was already incomplete when this Tripiṭaka Supplement was compiled.
There are several studies on the Chanlin beiyong qinggui. Nevertheless, studies on the preface do not exist, as far as the author of this paper knows. The preface listed in the Zokuzōkyō is not intact. This paper has revealed that the missing section of the Chanlin beiyong qinggui is still extant, and has studied the content and author of the preface, Yuan Jue 袁桷 (known also as the Lay Buddhist Qingrong 清容居士, 1266-1327).
