supplemented and revised the notes that his master had left uncompleted and
published the whole work under the title Kaixin fayao. Later, Wang Yuanjing's
disciples, the Xin' an ~,JT gc (Zhejiang) tradesmen Cheng Pubang f~ if ~, Cheng
Puxiang f~ if ~~~ , and Cheng Pushen f~ if {if! , revised and rearranged it again.
Their new edition was published in 1652 .
The Kaixinfayao is based on a rearrangement of Luo Qing's original work.
For example, the Kugong wudao juan was arranged into eighteen sections (pin
r%) after it had been broken up and made to conform more closely to the
eighteen steps (can ~) through which Luo Qing himself had awakened to
the Dao. The Poxie xianzheng yaoshi juan was arranged into fourteen sections,
and the Zhengxin chuyi wu xiuzheng zizai baojuan into twenty-five sections. By
explaining the text, dividing it into sections, adding collations and comments,
selecting the important aspects and clarifying the essential points, the Kaixin
fayao facilitated the spread of the Luojiao. The text draws on several Chan
Buddhist sayings and on passages from the Huayan jing $ fWi ~~ (Avata1Jtsaka-
sutra) , and also manifests the influence of ideas from the "learning of the
heart" (xinxue (,\ ~) widespread among the broader public in the late Ming
and early Qing dynasties.
