　　　　 in arguing for the attitude   of Primere Yao Ch'ung
　　　　 (姚崇), one of the outstanding   statesmen in T'ang
　　　　 China.  towarded   Buddhism.  As Yao not only made  a
　　　　 censorship upon the Buddhist Monastic Order and sent
　　　　 12000  uncertified   clerics  back to laity, but also
　　　　 crithcized  the Buddhist   phenomena  in China in his
　　　　 will, some  of the students   consider  that he was a
　　　　 Buddhist  suppressor.   Due to Yao also paid to grave
　　　　 Buddhist  image, some other   students  think that he
　　　　 leaned  to Buddhism  to some extent.  In this paper,
　　　　 the author  found out the fact that as traditionally
　　　　 Buddhist  clerics were exempted  from tax paying and
　　　　 national  service fulfiling   in the dynastic period,
　　　　 Monastic  order became an asylum for those who tried
　　　　 to escape from the above-mentioned duties.  Being an
　　　　 incumbent  primeminister, Yao ch'ung should  have to
　　　　 sent those dismised  clerics from the census back to
　　　　 the farming  fields  and military  camps in order to
　　　　 strenghten the finnancial as well as defensive power
　　　　 of the nation.  In this   situation, he could  not be
　　　　 described an a'Buddhist suppressor'.
　　　　
　　　　　　 Besides　　 the  author  discovered   that  Yao's
　　　　 knowledge in Buddhism is rather primitive.
