Ten books of Seonwoncheunggyu, written by Jagakjongsaek of wunmujong in Chinese North Song, is the oldest book of precept which succeeded to Bai-chang Huai-hai(720～814)'s GoCheunggyu lost in between the end of Dang and Five Countries.
Seonwoncheunggyu broadly consists of precepts, meditation, and Pure land so that it has been known as the most standard book of precept by which Seon practitioners should follow.
It was that the precepts of Seon Sect which represents self-faith accompanied with the rituals of Pure Land following salvation by faith.
The rituals in Seonwoncheunggyu can be found in the yearly large and small size of the activities of Comprehensive training monastery, console for the sick monks, and funerals for the dead monks.
The most important among them was the dharma talk by an eminent monk and mantra recited by all the people. In particular, mantra was done as ten mantra which is for reciting the three treasures of Buddha, dharma, and sangha.
Next, during console for the sick monks, and funerals for the dead monks, there was a pray for blessing and the dedication of merit with ten reciting of Amita Buddha and praying for being born in the Pure land, as well as ten mantra. Such rituals of funerals has much influenced the late Seon sect.
Jongsaek's books present many contents of combining Seon and Pure land however, there is no esoteric mantra of great compassion, Shurangama mantra or for being reborn the rituals in the rituals in Seonwoncheunggyu, as appeared in the late other books of precepts. It unites Seon and Pure land only for a way to the liberation.
