Yuanwu Keqin (Chinese: 圜悟克勤; Wade–Giles: Yuan-wu K'e-ch'in; Japanese: Engo Kokugon) (1063–1135) was the Chinese Chan Buddhist monk who wrote commentaries on the one-hundred koans (kung-an) compiled by Xuedou Zhongxian (Wade-Giles: Hsueh-tou Chung-hsien; Japanese: Setcho Juken) (980–1052). The koans and commentaries together are known as Blue Cliff Record (Wade-Giles: Pi-yen Lu; Japanese: Hekiganroku).
