It is an anthology of Buddhist chants and poems recorded in Dunhuang manuscripts. Originally there was no title for these works; the current title was first referred to in Records of Buddhist Scriptures Taken by Paul Pelliot. It is a collection of nearly a hundred chants sung during Buddhist rituals, including pieces such as “Departing and Returning (Gui Qu Lai),” “Learning Dharma in the Mountains (Ru Shan Xue),” “Delights of Mountain Life (Shan Zhong Le),” and “Leaving the Mountains (Chu Shen Shan).” The theme of most of these works is to extol Buddhist spiritual practice and to advocate the Buddhist goal of renunciation.
