In the Tang dynasty, the Sūtra of Perfect Enlightenment was held in high esteem by the Tiantai, Huayan, Chan, and Vajrayāna (Esoteric) schools.

本書為《つなぐにほんご》初級１與初級２之教師用指導手冊，附詳細說明與指導用素材。關於《つなぐにほんご》 《つなぐにほんご》旨在幫助初學日語者能夠自然地進行交流。為此，本書選取了日常生活中的各種情境，通過「體驗」的方式來學習如何用日語表達及使用各種說法。過去的教材多半是在學習文型和詞彙後，才學習會話範例，然後再進行遊戲或任務等溝通練習。這種方法的學習目標重點在於詞彙的掌握和文法的理解。而《つなぐにほんご》則是在理解了日常生活中的互動情境後，先聆聽日語會話範例，模仿並嘗試說出來。當能夠說出來後，再確認其中使用的文型和詞彙。理解了文型和詞彙後，再進行應用練習，模擬與最初情境對話相似的情境。每課設有如「自我介紹」、「購物」等主題，並涵蓋公司、學校、社區等２至４個日常情境。學習順序為情境會話、句型練習、應用會話練習「はなしましょう」。每課的最後設有一個活動，學習者需要為完成設定的任務進行討論和調查，並發表結果。這不僅僅是學習日常交流，並且讓學習者體驗如何應對日常生活中的各種挑戰，同時培養學生與其他學習者共同完成任務的能力，以及「說明能力」、「意見表達能力」和「條理清晰的表達能力」，這些都是高級日語學習者需要具備的能力。此外，每課的結尾還設有「よみましょう」和「かきましょう」兩個單元。「よみましょう」部分的文章難度稍高於學習者的預期程度。學習者需先自行閱讀，然後與其他學習者分享自己所理解的內容，這種稱為「ピアリーディング（peer reading）」的學習方式，旨在幫助學習者在日常生活中遇到需要閱讀的情況時，掌握應對較難文章的閱讀策略。同時，通過與其他學習者的討論，學習者能自然而然地進行精讀，並訓練自己的表達能力。同樣地，「かきましょう」單元要求學習者在開始書寫前先討論要寫的內容，完成後相互閱讀，交換意見並進行修正，這種學習活動稱為「ピアレスポンス（peer response）」。學習者發現彼此的錯誤，有助於自己理解得更精確。最終目標是讓學習者在進入社會後，具備獨立撰寫文章的能力。
