The Hyonjong non （Exposition of the Correct）， 1 fasc， by Kihwa 己和. An essay written at the beginning of the Choson 朝鲜 period， defending Buddhism against the attacks of a rising antagonistic Neo-Confucian movement. Kihwa argues that （1） that the fundamental values of the three teachings 三教 are not different， especially at the level of considering all beings in the universe to be interconnected， but that （2） when it comes to actualizing this vital truth， Buddhism is superior， as it is the only one of the three religions which clearly and specifically disallows the harming of other beings.
