your servant begs leave to say that buddhism is no more than a cult of the barbarian peoples, which
spread to china in the time of the latter han dynasty. it did not exist here in ancient times. now buddha
was a man of the barbarians who did not speak the language of china and wore clothes of a different
fashion. his sayings did not concern the ways of our ancient kings, nor did his manner of dress conform
to their laws. he understood neither the duties that bind ruler and subject nor the affections of father and
son
