The Buddhism in Sui and Tang Dynasties developed rapidly not only because of the social background, but also the Buddhism education itself. There were 5 principles and methods of Buddhism education then, namely, 1. to teaach the Buddhist in accordance with their aptitude; 2. to have a definite object in view and suit the remedy to the case; 3. to use teaching aid that could be directly perceived; 4. to inspire thinking with examples far and near, and 5. to use various ways that were loved by the followers. But in the works of the history of Chinese education, Buddhism education has never been mentioned, which is unfavorable to understand the historical value of Buddhism education and to draw some beneficial elements. Besides the religious purposes of Buddhism education, the principles and experience can be used for reference in today's school education and social education.
