Description

Explore a significant piece of Tang China history with The Zhenzheng lun by Xuanyi. Part of the Monumenta Serica Monograph Series, this scholarly work provides a deep look into Chinese Buddhist apologetics through a unique three-juan treatise. The text presents a structured dialogue between two figures: the Daoist 'Venerable Obstructed by Customs' and the Buddhist 'Master Revealing the Correct.' As the dialogue unfolds, the Buddhist master systematically refutes Daoist arguments, guiding the listener toward an orthodox Buddhist perspective. Composed in the late 7th century, this text offers valuable insights into the religious and political landscape of the era. It serves as a primary resource for students and researchers interested in the historical debates between Buddhism and Daoism in ancient China. This Routledge publication is an essential addition to any academic collection focused on Eastern religious studies and historical monographs.
