| + | Ru Guanjiu from Changbai [who graduated in the same year as my father] wrote Eight Schools and Two Activities, inscribing the scroll in his own calligraphy. It was block carved in Hangzhou. I wanted to add the last part of Daily Chants of the Chan School but it never came to fruition. Recently I came across Essentials of the Eight Schools by Venerable Gyōnen of Japan. Its citations of evidence are detailed and clear, but it's not something that beginner students can grasp. Since I don't hide my ignorance, I revised it into Brief Discussion of the Ten Schools, wishing it to be both simple and easy to understand. The first nine schools divide sentient beings by type; the final school encompasses all sentient beings, and regardless of what Dharma they practice, they all practice Pure Land accumulation of merit. Thus the nine schools enter in to one school. After giving rise to the Pure Land, all means of practice can be fully realized. Thus one school enters in to the nine schools. Interpenetration and unobstruction become fixed and interlock. Students should be careful not to take a sectarian attitude. [The schools] are equally matched. | ||

| + | 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! | ||
