佛氏杂辨


The Pulssi chappyon (Arguments Against the Buddhists), a late 14th century Korean Neo-Confucian polemical critique of Buddhism by Chong Tojon (郑道传 pen name: Sambong 三峰 1342-1398). In this work he carried out his most comprehensive refutation of Buddhism, singling out Buddhist doctrines and practices for detailed criticism. Chong stated that this book was written with the objective of refuting Buddhism once and for all "lest it destroy morality and eventually humanity itself." The charges leveled against Buddhism in the Pulsshi chappyon constitute a full inventory of the various arguments made by Confucians and Neo-Confucians from the time of the introduction of Buddhism into East Asia during the second century C.E. These arguments are arranged in eighteen sections, each of which is a critique on a particular aspect of Buddhist doctrine or practice.
