Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are known as the three religions, which are the essence of traditional Eastern culture. Each of the three has its own origin and system. However, in the process of development, through the circulation of consciousness, mutual influence, and integration, they have had a profound impact on our three views. Impact.

Confucianism is a proactive and enterprising study that teaches people how to integrate into society, contribute to social development, and realize personal value. It explores the relationship between people and society. In the core of Confucianism,"benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" are the moral norms for people's behavior in society, and"cultivation, family order, country governance, and world peace" are the development plans for personal career. This is a learning In the process of growth and self-realization, no matter what position one reaches in society, one needs to match personal behavioral ethics with one's position in order to achieve balance, otherwise there will be no good ending. It is a science that deals with the relationship between people and society.

Taoism focuses on the practice of seclusion. According to Laozi,"Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." This reflects the interdependence of all things in the world."Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, and heaven follows Tao."Tao follows nature" describes the natural development laws between heaven, earth and man. Peace in the world is due to following the laws of"nature". When someone does not follow the laws of nature and acts recklessly, those who practice Taoism will assume the responsibility of restoring order. There is a folk saying:"In troubled times, Taoist priests go down to the mountains to save the world, but in prosperous times, Taoist priests retreat to the mountains."

Taoism emphasizes the great sound and the sound, the invisible elephant and the nameless Tao. It advocates practicing with less selfish desires or staying away from worldly pure desires in order to achieve inner peace and cultivate the spirit of heaven. When you realize your ambitions in troubled times or fail to implement your ambitions due to changes in the social environment, you are born and let nature take its course. Taoism is the knowledge that deals with the relationship between man and nature.

Buddhism guides people to achieve a transcendent realm, mainly dealing with interactions between people, being broad-minded, selfless dedication, kindness, loving all living beings, doing good deeds, practicing all kinds of good deeds, and refraining from doing any evil, so that they can transcend the mundane world and gain liberation. , everyone can become a Buddha. In terms of personal cultivation, the Buddha said: Practice precepts diligently, calm down, and have wisdom, and put an end to greed, anger, and ignorance. Buddhism believes that greed, anger, and ignorance are the three poisons or three stains, which are three kinds of heart diseases that harm people's body and mind and make people sink into the cycle of life and death. They are the root of all evil. Buddhism advocates seeing through and letting go. For example, the Heart Sutra teaches people to let go of their obsessions, increase wisdom, and obtain blessings. It can also eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance, reduce negative emotions in the heart, and purify the soul, so that the merits are immeasurable. Therefore, Buddhism is a science that deals with the relationship between man and the universe.

Confucianism nourishes righteousness, Taoism cultivates righteousness, and Buddhism eliminates grievances. In our land, the three are mutually tolerant and mutually beneficial, building a complete cultural system. Therefore, no matter what kind of problems arise in social development, the three religions Principles of processing can be found in.

The highest realm of Confucianism is sainthood, Taoism seeks immortality, Buddhism seeks enlightenment, and saints, immortals, and Buddhas are all achieved by humans, not by nature. Therefore, there are professional gods in all aspects to fulfill wishes. For marriage, worship Lao Chai Daohuang, for children, worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, for merit examination, worship Confucian sage Kong, for wealth, Taoism god Zhao Gongming, for friendship, worship Er Ge Guan, and in various industries. There are all masters in the industry who are regarded as ancestors. The ancestors can play a certain role in regulating the industry. Those who study medicine worship Hua Tuo, the god of medicine, pharmaceuticals worship the medicine god Sun Simiao, chefs worship the stove prince Zhang Sheng, and winemakers worship the wine god Du Kang. Carpenters worshiped Lu Ban, tea makers worshiped Lu Yu, the tea sage... whatever their profession, they worshiped the ancestors. If they had any wishes, they went to the gods who specialized in management. This also reflects the diversity of the cultures of the three religions. Moreover, our gods all originate from secular people and are granted by the common people to express their recognition and respect for their contributions to social development. In other words, they are gods created by the common people. The purpose of creating gods is to serve the common people. It is hoped that they will help realize good wishes or bless success in career, so this culture is more conducive to the development and progress of human society.

Among the three religions, Buddhism was introduced from ancient India. Its introduction was actually the result of two-way selection. We can accept it because there are differences between Buddhist teachings and Confucianism and Taoism. After adaptation and development, they were harmonized into a complementary and inclusive teaching. Another culture with local characteristics together constitute a rich and colorful oriental cultural system.

No matter which of the three religions is more than half a century older than Western Christianity, Confucianism is a school founded by Confucius. Confucius was born on September 28, 551 BC, while Jesus was born somewhere in 4 or 6 BC. One day, that is to say, Confucius is at least 545 years older than Jesus, so Confucianism is more than 500 years older than Christianity. The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, was 14 years older than Confucius, and the founder of Taoism, Laozi, was 6 years older than Sakyamuni and 20 years older than Confucius. It can be seen that compared with the three religions, Christianity is just a latecomer. Usually the older a belief is, the stronger its power will be.

So why haven’t the three religions spread as widely around the world as Christianity? Because the three religions are tolerant and never force others, the second is that the three religions are not aggressive and do not fight or grab, and the other three religions are not good at publicity, neither cheating nor deceiving.

It is said that Christianity and Buddhism also have some connections. According to the research of historians, Jesus came to India with a businessman at the age of 14 in order to escape from marriage, and was exposed to Buddhism here. Six years later, he came to Nepal and continued to study Buddhism for six years. Therefore, some historians believe that Jesus founded Christianity because he felt that the teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha were too profound to be spread to the world, so he tried to popularize the teachings in the local area without violating the spirit of the teachings. The Bible was created for the sake of dissemination, and there are indeed some concepts in common with Buddhism in the New Testament. Of course, this statement will not be accepted, and even the West hates it very much. Throughout history, they have been doing their best to erase the proposer. However, in the life of Jesus recorded in the West, there was a period of about 18 years between Jesus’ childhood and the beginning of his ministry. The blank period is an indisputable fact.

It is generally accepted in the West that Christianity was founded on the basis of Judaism. It became independent because of differences in understanding of God's instructions. On the basis of the common use of the Old Testament, Christianity used the New Testament due to differences. 》For understanding. So is it possible that the differences arose after Jesus went to the East? We don't know.

Christianity believes that God is the sole master of the universe and the only god worthy of worship and trust. Only he can save people, and other gods are false gods. In the process of Christianity promoting its belief in the only God to the outside world, a force gradually emerged. This force is exclusive, aggressive, and conspiratorial, and it works through the gospel of God.

《The commandment of the Bible: You must not believe in other gods except God. Only by believing in God can you go to heaven. If you don't believe it, you can go to hell. The British theologian Alan J. Torrance once published an article to demonstrate the exclusivity of Christianity. At the end of the article, he wrote:"……Christianity is a centrism, that is, an exclusive belief."

For the baseThe aggressiveness of religion, of course, also has a noble title of spreading the gospel of God, and massacring pagans accompanied by the gospel. In history, whether it was the 8 Crusades from the 9th to 11th centuries, mass killings in the name of God, or the massacre of American Indians by Christians in the New World in the 15th to 16th centuries under the banner of spreading the gospel, they were all invasions of other lands. Undoubted fact. Since 1622, the Holy See has established the Ministry of Propaganda (today’s Evangelization of Peoples Ministry) specifically responsible for preaching to the New World. Then a large number of missionaries traveled across the oceans and came to the New World and the East to teach the remaining converts. Sincerely convinced.

The so-called conspiracy theory is that Christian teachings have been constantly tampered with for centuries. Some people say that it has been changed more than 3,000 times. No matter how many times, it has been changed again and again. What is the purpose of the change? It is nothing more than to prepare for the great disasters that occur in the era. Explain the catastrophes, such as plagues, earthquakes, wars, etc., and then say that you see these Bibles have already predicted that if you don’t believe in God, you will suffer disasters, in order to promote Christ and consolidate his rule.

The gospel of God, the good news that benefits everyone, is also called the good news or good news that comes. So what good news comes? It is the road to salvation prepared by God for mankind. How can one be saved? To be saved by faith means that you must believe in the doctrines preached by Jesus and his disciples. In other words, you must believe in their consciousness or thoughts. To put it simply, you must listen to their words in order to live. What if there is no way to be saved in the end? Of course the gospel becomes the devil's whisper.

Even if there is a road to salvation, can we board this road? As a people of another race, there is a big question mark if you want to become God's chosen people. If you don't listen to them or don't follow their way, this force will become an evil force.
