Refutation of Erroneous Doctrines
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Refutation of Erroneous Doctrines,
摧邪輪 (Jpn Sai-jarin)
A work written in 1212 by Myoe, a priest of the Flower Garland (Kegon) school in Japan, in response to Honen's work The Nembutsu Chosen above All, which sets forth the doctrine that the Nembutsu, or the invoking of the name of Amida Buddha, alone should be practiced.
Myoe attacked Honen's treatise mainly for denying the necessity of arousing the aspiration for enlightenment and for comparing adherents of all teachings other than the Pure Land teachings to a band of robbers who prevent travelers from completing their journey, that is, who prevent practitioners of the Pure Land teachings from reaching the Pure Land.
