THE “HSIN-MING” ATTRIBUTED TO NIU-T'OU FA-JUNG
Abstract
In the thirtieth chapter of the celebrated Ch'an Buddhist collection “Chingte ch'uan-teng”al one finds a number of short texts of the g'tha (chia-t'a)b type2 composed by various Ch'an masters. Among these often highly abstruse “songs” (ke)c is included one called “Hsin-ming”d (Mind Inscription),3 which is attributed to Fa-junge (594–657),4 the First Patriarch of the early Ch'an Buddhist denomination commonly known as the Niu-t'ou Schoolf after the name of the mountain where the master dwelt,5 Before going on to a discussion of the text and its contents let us first take a brief look at the author and his brand of Ch'an Buddhism.

In the citing paper
“After Shenhui, a Chan tradition outside the scheme of the formal patriarchal transmission rose [65] in south-eastern China, namely the Niutou School 牛頭宗, which got it name after the mountain on which its purported founder Farong 法融 (594-657) had lived.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
