The Essence of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism

The essence of the thoughts of the three schools of thought of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism is as follows:

The Taoist pursuit of natural inaction, return to simplicity and truth, purify the Xuanjian, and dashing and open-mindedness, reflecting the learning of resourcefulness and being a human being. It is not the pursuit of intrigue and trickery, nor is it a smooth and worldly manner, but a kind of wisdom and strategy. It prevents others from harming themselves, but also enhances their competitiveness, making connections, meeting people left and right, and making everything go smoothly.

Confucianism emphasizes the way of dealing with the world with respect, diligence, righteousness, responsibility, as well as introspection and mediocrity, which embodies the learning of doing things in the right way. This state of mind makes a person rounded and accommodating, becoming influential and appealing to the social elite.

Buddhists advocate the four great emptiness, compassion and generosity, tolerance and forbearance, and regard all the difficulties of the world as nothing, do not complain about the sky, from nature, present nature, reflecting the learning of the transcendental cultivation of the mind. With this state of mind, one becomes open-minded and strong, keeps away from hatred, avoids disasters, and achieves success in life.
