The Buddhist Three Character Classic 釋教三字經
Preface by Guangzhen
Among the Confucians they have the Three Character Classic for the education of children, which they wish the young to recite and memorize, and upon maturing attain insight. Thus the emperor has written: The beginnings of human virtue cannot be attained and then forgotten. In our own teaching, Shakyamuni descended and was born in the human realm so that he could scale the palace wall and attain the Way, establish the teachings and promulgate the denominations. This is something that can be distinctly verified, and one can cite and describe it. How could one not be willing to use it for the education of novices? Four days before the Yuanxiao festival [on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month] I picked up a brush and found paper, writing Three Character Classic. My wish is that in the future as our mouths merely mumble away, we may yet mature and attain insight. Comparing this to “Men at their birth are naturally good”, there is a difference!
