《维摩诘经》是大乘佛教的早期经典之一，因为此经的主人公为维摩诘居士，故而得名。唐玄奘，宋法戒和尚都曾译过此经。宣传在世俗生活中也能修炼成佛。《维摩诘经》[2]运用不可思议的不二法门，消解一切矛盾，影响了禅宗思想、禅悟思维、公案机锋。禅宗将《维摩诘经》作为宗经之一，将不二法门作为处世机的态度与方法，泯灭一切对立，从而获得了生命自由的无限超越。

《圆觉经》是佛为文殊、普贤等十二位菩萨宣说如来圆觉的妙理和观行方法。其中心思想主要在强调一切万法皆含摄与圆觉妙心，有情众生的四圣六凡和无情的山河大地，都是圆觉妙心所变现的。《圆觉经》对中国佛教华严宗、天台宗禅宗、密宗等都有重要的影响，如第七章大威德的出场，就是明显的密宗特征，因此也受到密宗的重视。

本书所集的“净土三经”，就是净土宗所依据的主要经典。这三经即是：一、《无量寿经》：叙说阿弥陀佛因位的愿行和果上的功德。二、《观无量寿经》：向人们显示往生净土的行业，即修持净土的方法。三、《阿弥陀佛》：展现净土的正依报庄严、极乐世界的美妙，及执持阿弥陀佛名号的种种利益和方便。 净土是一个庄严清净的世界，是一个无苦无秽的妙土。西方净土，是“净土三经”及中国净土宗所着力宣扬的一个极乐世界，如何能追寻到一块无苦疾杂染的净土？“净土三经“所涵盖的内容足以答复所有的质疑。

对华严经各品的内容做简洁的介绍与解读。对华严经的真义以及如何修习实践等都有明确讲解。

佛教中三本经书《四十二章经》《八大人觉经》《佛遗教经》原文及白话释译。

Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!
