Biàn fēi jí 辨非集

Compilation Discriminating Errors by 善熹 (Shànxī, 述)

About the work

This 1-fascicle text by 善熹 Shànxī is a polemical-critical compilation against errors in rival Buddhist commentarial traditions. The genre — biàn fēi “discriminating errors” — is one of the standard formats of Sòng-period Buddhist polemical literature, and Shànxī’s contribution is part of his broader engagement with rival Buddhist doctrinal positions, paralleling his [[KR6e0137|Píng jīn gāng pī]] (X1018).
