The 'Wudeng Huiyuan' (Compendium of the Five Lamps) is a massive 20-fascicle Zen Buddhist text. While Andy Ferguson's 'Zen's Chinese Heritage' provides a comprehensive English version of its core teachings and lineages, it is not a complete, unabridged translation of the entire original work. No full, cover-to-cover English translation of all 20 fascicles was found in the catalogs.
