Faced with the challenge of process of social secularization in song Dynasty, Buddhist thinkers tried to adjust the teachings of Buddhism to protect the legal status of Buddhism. By integrating the theory of Tathatã pratityasamutpada in Mahãyãna-sraddhotpãda-sãstra into Tiantai "nature inclusion" (xingju) thought, the theory of "inherent evil" was expressed by means of "The Poison of Principle is the Evil Inherent in the Buddha-Nature" by Tiantai monks in Song Dynasty. Zhili, the master of Shan-Jia party sticked to the new proposition which was contradicted by Zhiyuan, a famous monk of Shan-wai party. The intense debate not only reflected the turn of Paradigm of "Inherent Evil" theory of Tian-Tai in Song Dynasty, but also pointed out Tiantai monks’ different attitudes to Buddhist ritual.
