The Zhenzheng lun (T 2112, Treatise of Revealing the Correct) is a
Chinese Buddhist apologetic treatise with a distinct anti-Daoist
stance in three juan. It is organized as a dialogue between a
Daoist, the "Venerable Obstructed by Customs" (zhisu gongzi ), and
the Buddhist "Master Revealing the Correct" (zhenzheng xiansheng )
in which the former is gradually led towards an orthodox Buddhist
understanding by the latter through the refutation of his various
arguments against Buddhism. Composed in the late 7th century, the
text was authored depending on the political interests and
strategies of Wu Zhao (624-705), who in 690 was enthroned as
Empress Wu Zetian . This study of Thomas Julch offers a richly
annotated and complete translation of the Zhenzheng lun along with
an introductory part that focuses on reconstructing the political
and propagandistic circumstances relevant to the understanding of
the Zhenzheng lun.
