鬼緣 [gui yuan]—Ghostly Affinity — [Miscellaneous Term] The cause and condition (因緣 [yin yuan]) for evil ghosts (邪鬼 [xie gui]). The tenth fascicle, lower part, of Mohe Zhiguan (止觀 [zhi guan]) states: "If in a previous life, there was an external ghostly affinity, ghosts would then afflict them, leading to the development of ghostly dhyana (鬼禪 [gui chan]) and ghostly views (鬼見 [gui jian])."

鬼緣—【雜語】邪鬼之因緣。止觀十下曰：「若前世，外有鬼緣，鬼則加之，發鬼禪鬼見。」

[zá yǔ] xié guǐ zhī yīn yuán. zhǐ guān shí xià yuē: “ruò qián shì, wài yǒu guǐ yuán, guǐ zé jiā zhī, fā guǐ chán guǐ jiàn.”

歸元 [gui yuan]—(guī yuán) — [Terminology] Also called 歸真 [gui zhen] (guī zhēn), 歸寂 [gui ji] (guī jì), 歸化 [gui hua] (guī huà), or 歸本 [gui ben] (guī běn). It means to depart from the realm of birth and death and return to the true, tranquil, original source. It refers to the death of a person. It is synonymous with 圓寂 [yuan ji] (yuán jì). Zen practitioners (禪家 [chan jia], chán jiā) inscribe "新 [xin]" (newly returned to origin) or "新歸真 [xin gui zhen]" (newly returned to truth) on the memorial tablet (位牌 [wei pai], wèi pái) of the deceased, below which the Dharma name (法名 [fa ming], fǎ míng) is written. It commonly refers to the death of monks and nuns (僧侶 [seng lu], sēng lǚ).

歸元—【術語】又曰歸真，歸寂，歸化，歸本。出生滅界，還歸於真寂本元之意。謂人之死亡也。與圓寂同義。禪家於亡者之位牌題新歸元或新歸真，其下有具法名者。普通謂僧侶之死亡。(圓寂)
