Bingxu, the ninth year of Wude [626 CE], in the second month. Fu Yi, Grand Astrologer, instigated the Daoist Li Zhongqing to submit the Treatise on Ten Differences and Nine Delusions to disparage and evaluate the Buddhist sage. In total, Yi had submitted memorials seven times to subvert the teaching. Chancellor Xiao Yu rebuked Fu Yi in open court. In the fourth month, the Emperor distributed Yi's memorial to show it to the monks. There was the Dharma Master Śākya Minggai, who wrote Eight Points Resolving and Refuting Fu Yi's Slander of the Buddha and Destruction of the Sangha. Dharma Master Falin wrote Ten Analogies and Nine Admonitions to refute Li Zhongqing's discourse on the ten differences and nine delusions. Li Shizheng, Ritual Officer of the Chancellery, wrote the three-chapter Treatise on Internal Virtue, profusely setting forth the benefits of the Buddhist transformation. In the fifth month, an edict was issued to simultaneously purge the corrupt elements of both teachings (Old History of the Tang).
