Responses to Chan critics

One important figure in this regard was the monk Cimin Huiri (c. 680–74), who is known to have visited India. Cimin defended Pure Land Buddhism from the critiques of Chan masters that argued that all we needed to do was practice meditation. Cimin's main defense of Pure Land is found in his Collection Outlining Various Scriptures and Treatises Regarding Methods of Contemplating the Buddha and Rebirth in the Pure Land. For Cimin, Chan masters who criticized Pure Land were arrogant unawakened people who falsely claimed enlightenment and denied basic Buddhist teaching and scriptures in favor of their own narrow focus on meditative concentration. In contrast, Cimin recommended "nien-fo, scripture chanting, and invocation of the bodhisattvas, in addition to vegetarianism," as a basic structure of Pure Land practice.
