What's the difference between China's traditional culture and Buddhist theory?

Buddhism has become a part of China's traditional culture, and China's traditional culture includes Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

The biggest difference between Buddhism and Confucianism is that the ultimate goal of Buddhism is birth, life and death, and reincarnation.

Confucianism teaches us how to be a qualified person, and if we follow the practice of Confucianism, we can be a real person, and we can get a person in this life and the next life, that is, a person with personality. Therefore, Confucianism is a human education and a humanistic education. Taoism goes further on this basis, so that it can reach the level of god (heaven and man), so if it is God's education, it can qualify as a god-becoming a god. Therefore, Taoism can be said to be the religion of God (the education of becoming gods and immortals) and the education of Heaven. Buddhism, after all, is a perfect education, and it is an education to become a Buddha and a saint. As a result, you can become a bodhisattva, a Buddha and a saint, so Buddhism is a sacred religion.

There are three reasons for the three buddhas' clean industry, also known as the three blessings of clean industry. The first blessing: honor adoptive parents, serve teachers, do not kill with kindness, and cultivate ten good deeds. If you do this, you will be qualified to be a man, which is also the goal of Confucian education. Reaching the top grade, that is, approaching perfection, that is, people can enjoy natural blessings all day long, which is the goal pursued by Taoism, so the first happiness is also called human happiness; The second blessing is that you have three conversions, enough precepts and no dignity; This is the reason of Hinayana, that is, I heard that Jue Yuan's practice has transcended the realm of heaven and man (immortals) and gone out of the three realms and samsara. The third blessing: develop bodhicitta, be sure of cause and effect, read Mahayana, and persuade the pioneers. This is the Mahayana Bodhisattva Road, which teaches all sentient beings until they become Buddhas.

Therefore, Buddhism not only contains the way of heaven and man, but also transcends the way of heaven and man, which is a perfect education.
