Zenrin-kushū 

A text of Japanese zen, the title of which means ‘Anthology of Passages from the Forests of Zen’. This two-fascicle work was first assembled in the medieval period by the Rinzai monk Tōyō Eichi (1428-1504), but did not see publication until the 1680s. It consists of a collection of quotations from Buddhist scriptures, Zen literature such as recorded sayings of past masters, Confucian (see Confucianism), Taoist (see Taoism), and other sources. Altogether, it contains some 5,000 passages, and was probably used as a study aid.
