Yung Chias Song of Enlightenment 61

Yung Chias Song of EnlightenmentTranslated by LU KUAN YU(Chan and Zen teaching, series three,

Part II, Rider & Co, London 1962)

Chan Master Hsuan Chueh of Yung Chia joined the Sanghaorder when he was still young and began to study the Tien Tai(Japanese, Ten dai) teaching which he practiced with great success.Then he called on learned masters for instruction. After reading theMahaparinirvana Sutra, he was awakened to the Buddha Dharma andhis later study of the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra enabled him to realizehis mind. Since his major awakening had, not yet been confirmed by

an enlightened master, he proceeded to Tsao ChI where he calledon the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng who sealed the visitorsenlightenment after a short and very skillful probe related in the AltarSutra. He was retained at the monastery for a night and was thenknown as The Overnight Enlightened One.

After his thorough understanding of the Buddhas expedientteaching in the sutras and his complete awakening to the

Transmission outside the Scriptures, he wrote Yung Chias ChanCollection (Yung Chia Chan Tsung Chi) and the Song ofEnlightenment (Yung Chia Ta Shih Cheng Tao Ko) for the benefit ofthose practicing the Buddha Dharma. In one of his meditations, whileentering the state of samadhi, he saw the golden words of his Songfilling the whole of space. Since then, it became well known in allmonasteries in China and was widely read all over the country. It waslater translated into Sanskrit by an Indian master who took it to India

for the benefit of his fellow countrymen.

Yung Chia was a successor to Tien Kung, the seventh Patriarchof the Tien Tai School and was also a Dharma successor to HuiNeng, the Sixth Patriarch of the Chan Sect.
