Buddhist Poems on Encouraging Virtue

定义

六、七言组诗，作者不详。共九组，每组八句、六句、十句不等。诗歌用极力渲染地狱恐怖的内容来进行劝善戒恶的说教，似为配合讲经时所唱。

Nine groups of poems, with the author unidentified, written in a six-character or seven-character pattern with six, eight, or ten sentences in each group. The poems encourage people to do kind deeds and abstain from evil deeds by vividly depicting horrible sufferings in the afterlife. They were probably chanted in accompaniment to sutra-preaching or sutra lectures.
