no BUDDHIST EDUCATION attached to ^pansal^ or residence of a Buddhist priest. The children did not all attend at the same period of day, but as they had leisure went to the pansal to repeat their lessons, and then returned home, or went to their employment in some other place. The school was a mere shed open at the sides, with a raised platform in one corner covered with sand, on which letters were traced by the finger of the child learning to write. Lessons were usually repeated aloud, and wer...e recited in a singing tone, several boys frequently joining in chorus. The alphabet was first learned, and was usually copied upon tal leaves ; after that the union of vowels and consonants. Then the pupil began to write the letters upon sand, holding in the left hand a piece of wood to erase what he had written. The course of reading included about fourteen books : (i) A name book, which was a collection of names of villages, countries, temples, caves, etc. ; (2) an enumeration of the various signs and beauties upon the person of Buddha ; (3) stanzas in honour of Buddha, Truth, etc., with some grammatical rules also ; (4) an account of the birth of Gane^a, etc.
