周武帝初信佛法，後納道士張賓，及前僧衛元嵩之讒，將除佛教。安師著《二教論》，抗云：「九流之教，教止其身，名為外教。三乘之教，教靜其心，名為內教。老非教主，易謙所攝。」帝聞之，存廢理乖，遂雙除屏。不盈五載，身歿移隋。煬帝嗣錄，改革前朝。雖令致敬，僧竟不屈。

> Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou initially believed in the Buddhist Dharma, but later heeded the slanders of the Daoist Zhang Bin and the apostate monk Wei Yuansong, preparing to abolish the Buddhist teaching. Master Dao'an wrote the Erjiao lun to contest it, stating: 'The teachings of the Nine Schools restrain only the body; they are called outer teachings. The teachings of the Three Vehicles tranquilize the mind; they are called inner teachings. Laozi is not the founder of a religion; he is subsumed under the humility of the Changes.' When the Emperor heard this, finding the rationale for retaining or abolishing them contradictory, he abolished both teachings. In less than five years, he died and the dynasty passed to the Sui. When Emperor Yang succeeded to the throne, he reformed the institutions of the preceding dynasty. Although he ordered homage to be rendered, the monks ultimately did not submit.
