| Summary: | "While the Neo-Confucian critique of Buddhism is fairly well-known, little attention has been given to the Buddhist reactions to this harangue. The fact is, however, that over a dozen apologetic essays have been written by Buddhists in China, Korea, and Japan in response to the Neo-Confucians. Buddhist Apologetics in East Asia offers an introduction to this Buddhist literary genre. It centers on full translations of two dominant apologetic works-the Hufa lun (護法論), written by a Buddhist politician in twelfth-century China, and the Yusÿk chirŭi non (儒釋質疑論), authored by an anonymous monk in fifteenth-century Korea. Put together, these two texts demonstrate the wide variety of polemical strategies and the cross-national intertextuality of East Asian Buddhist apologetics"-- Introduction. Early Chinese Buddhist polemics -- The Neo-Confucian critique of Buddhism -- Buddhist responses to the Neo-Confucians -- Apologetic strategies and themes -- Translations. In defense of the dharma : annotated translation of Zhang Shangying's Hufa lun (護法論) -- Probing the doubts and concerns between Buddhism and Confucianism : annotated translation of the Yusŏk chirŭi non (儒釋質疑論) |
