Auxiliary Education Section - Fǔ jiào biān (English)

Japanese: 輔教編 - ふぎょうへん（英語表記）Fǔ jiào biān

Written by the founder of the Yunmen sect of China, Mingjiao Daishi Kaisou. 3 volumes. Explains the role of Confucianism as a support for Buddhist ethics and its ideological basis. It consists of three chapters, "Genkyo (What is the teaching?)", "Kougenkyo", and "Kansho", and is included in the "Tsutsu Bunshu", Kaisou's complete collection of works. There is also a separate "Kyochu Fukyohen" (The Kyochu Fukyo Edition) with notes written by Kaisou himself, which was republished in Japan and influenced Gozan literature. In response to the Tang dynasty's Han Yu, who wrote works of the same name such as The Original Teaching, The Original Man, and The Original Way, in which he clarified the traditions of Confucianism and rejected Buddhism as heresy, the author asserts once again that the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism share one principle.He succeeded the Hongmingshu and Guanghongmingshu, works on the same theme that had been written since the Six Dynasties, and wrote this work from the outset with the intention of it being incorporated into the Tripitaka, with the intention of pre-empting the anti-Buddhist movement of Song learning.

Japanese:

中国の雲門宗の祖師，明教大師契嵩（かいすう）の著。3巻。仏教倫理を助けるものとしての，儒教の役割と，その思想的根拠について説く。〈原教(教えとは何か)〉〈広原教〉〈勧書〉の3編より成り，契嵩の著作全集である《鐔津文集》にも収める。別にみずから注をつけた《夾注輔教編》があり，日本で再刊されて，五山文学に影響を与えた。著者は，唐の韓愈が同じ名の〈原教〉および〈原人〉〈原道〉などを書いて，儒教の伝統を明らかにし，仏教を異端として排撃するのに対し，あらためて儒仏道三教がその原理を一にすることを主張するのであり，六朝以来の同じテーマの書である《弘明集》や《広弘明集》を継承し，当初より大蔵経への編入を求めて書かれ，宋学の排仏運動に先手を打つ意図をもっていたようである。
