Traditional Chinese Studies: Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are one family, like a red lotus

amitabha. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are one family, and religious unity is the most important.

------Zhuge Changqing

Chinese culture has a long history.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism constitute the backbone of Chinese culture.

At present, many Chinese people with dedication have devoted themselves to the promotion of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Like Chen Dahui and Cai Lixu, they sacrifice themselves for culture and dedicate themselves to traditional Chinese culture.

We are grateful to those who have made silent contributions. They are the backbone of Chinese culture.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are originally one family, which is a good culture of encouraging people to do good deeds, accumulate virtue and be positive.

We are grateful to Buddha Sakyamuni, Taoist Laozi and Confucian Confucius for the high wisdom culture they have created. We are grateful for the outstanding contributions made by ancient and modern eminent monks, Taoist immortals, and Confucian sages to Chinese culture.

The Buddhist classics such as the Heart Sutra, Vajra Sutra, Dizang Sutra, Huayan Sutra, Fahua Sutra, and the Four Instructions to All Men, the Taoist classics such as the Tao Te Sutra, the Quiet Sutra, and the Supreme Sensation, and the Confucian classics such as the University, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects of Confucius, the Mencius, the Book of Changes, the Disciple Code, the Filial Piety Sutra, the Three-character Sutra, the Caigen Tan, and the Zengguang Sage, It is also a leap in people's wisdom.

Zhuge Changqing studied the traditional Chinese culture and believed that the core of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture is to persuade people to be good, to practice hard, to improve themselves, and to benefit the society, so they are essentially the same.

Anyone who has been to the Shaolin Temple will know that the Shaolin Temple has the "Three Religions in One Monument".

This "Monument of Three Religions in One" is the "Monument of Praise for Three Religions and Nine Flows in Hunyuan".

On the whole, this picture is the image of a monk, which is also the representative of Buddhism.

The positive image represents Sakyamuni.

The person wearing a square scarf on the left is the representative of Confucianism, namely Confucius.

On the right, with a bun behind the head, is a Taoist image, namely Laozi.

The coexistence of the three religions is a monument and a perfect harmony. The three heads, together with the shoulders and the body, form a whole body, holding the "Jiuliu Hunyuan Diagram" in both hands, forming the "Jiuliu Diagram" of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and "Jiuliu".

The "Monument of Three Religions in One" is the "Monument of Praise for Three Religions and Nine Rivers in Hunyuan", which reads:

Buddhism sees nature, Taoism protects life, Confucianism understands ethics, and the principles are right.

Agribusiness is the foundation, ink is the world's best, celebrities are responsible, and legalism is the auxiliary system,

Vertical and horizontal response, novel consultation, Yin and Yang are in harmony with the sky, and the original person is cured,

The mixed flow is also connected, but not described. Those who are rich are difficult to master, and those who are good are not rich.

The sun and the moon shine three times, the gold and jade grain, the heart and body skin, the nose, mouth, ears and eyes.

There are different ways to do good. Qu Shi is paranoid, and the same party excludes differences.

Don't suffer from many differences. It is necessary to be integrated and consistent.

The three religions are integrated, the nine streams and one source, the hundred schools of thought, and the ten thousand laws.

Zhuge Changqing was very impressed by the inscriptions of these masters. He said that all laws are unified, that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and that the cultural origins are well understood.

The "three religions" are Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Buddhists sit in red lotus, Taoists wear green clothes, and the hidden form of Confucianism looks like white lotus root.

Mount Song is one of the holy places where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism coexist, and it is also the most perfect place for the integration of the three religions. Its religious culture has its own characteristics. Among the holy places of the three religions in Mount Song, the Confucian culture represented by Songyang Academy, one of the four ancient Chinese academies, plays an important role in China's Confucianism; Songshan Dafawang Temple, built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is one of the birthplaces of Chinese Buddhist monasteries. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral temple of Chinese Buddhism, and the Buddhist culture is unique; Zhongyue Temple is one of the earliest existing Taoist temples in China, with a history of more than 2000 years. In Songshan, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism coexist harmoniously and develop together.

Wang Chongyang, founder of the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism, said:

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are interlinked, and the three religions have never been the same.

Red lotus, white lotus and green lotus leaves. The three religions were originally a family

The lotus is red - -- representing Buddhism;

The lotus leaf is blue --- representing Taoism;

The root of lotus root is white --- representing Confucianism.

Although the three images are different, they are actually a community of life.

Like red lotus, white lotus and green lotus leaves, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the blood of one family.

Zhuge Changqing believes that, after careful consideration, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are indeed so. The Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist families are like a red lotus. Never part.

In addition, good knowledge summarizes the history of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism:

The thought of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in one, which began in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Three Religions began in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism became the prevailing trend to discuss the difficulties of celebrities of the three religions, and gradually became confluence and harmony from the difficulties. Luo Xianglin's "Examination of the Three Religions in the Tang Dynasty", through the specific investigation of the Three Religions in the Tang Dynasty, pointed out that the purpose of the unification of the Three Religions was "widespread in the Tang Dynasty".

(1) The three teachings led scholars to interpret the Confucian classics with moral principles, thus promoting the transformation of Confucianism. Obviously, the Song people's Neo-Confucianism and the Tang people have already started their thoughts.

(2) In the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi, a generation of Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty, supported Buddhism into Confucianism, reformed Confucianism and formed Neo-Confucianism. This has been recognized by the academic community.

(3) In the late Ming Dynasty, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the thought of the integration of the three religions has become a prevailing trend of thought in a generation.

Chinese and foreign scholars have made some research achievements on the thought of the integration of the three religions in the Ming Dynasty. In his two books, "Research on the Thought of the Ming Dynasty" and "Research on the Religious Thought of the End of the Ming Dynasty", the Japanese scholar Akira Araki specially took Guan Zhidao, Lin Zhaoen, and Tu Long as examples to investigate the harmonious thought of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the end of the Ming Dynasty. Zhuge Changqing's research found that Wang Yangming, a Confucian master, was also a master of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

(4) And Kazuji Shimada explained the partial penetration of the thought of the integration of the three religions into the life of the scholars by outlining the life and consciousness of the scholars in the late Ming Dynasty.

(5) Liu Cunren is the author of "Confucianism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty" and "Wang Yangming and Buddhism and Taoism". It systematically clarifies the relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty. However, Li Zhuoran's case analysis of Jiao's view of the three religions, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, is undoubtedly more helpful to understand the popularity of the thought of the integration of the three religions in the late Ming Dynasty.

(6) The confluence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty was centered on Confucian scholars, with the participation of many famous monks and alchemists. They made friends with each other and influenced each other, resulting in the secularization of Buddhism and Taoism and the popularization of Confucianism. The difference between this paper and the previous studies is that the topic of the history of thought or religion is examined from the perspective of social history, that is, through comprehensive analysis of the theory of the integration of Confucianism and Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, or the response of the Buddhist and Taoist personages to this theory, to clarify the profound impact of this concept on the late Ming Dynasty's thoughts and culture, as well as the various imprints on the level of scholars and folk life in the Ming Dynasty.

(7) In the Qing Dynasty, the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism took a further leap. Shunzhi Emperor, from Taoism to Confucianism, later to Buddhism; Emperor Qianlong, first Confucianism, then Taoism, and finally Buddhism Zeng Guofan was praised by Mao Zedong as a modern sage. Zeng Guofan and Mao Zedong are both great researchers of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

(8) Up to now, Chinese culture is booming day by day, and Chinese scholars such as Nan Huaijin are masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are always integrated into people's lives. Zhuge Changqing found that there was a prelude to the great prosperity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture in all parts of the country, and many people with lofty ideals in all parts of the country were involved in the promotion of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Zhuge Changqing believed that when Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism flourished, China would be revitalized.

I wish our motherland a prosperous culture, a peaceful country and a happy people, and realize the Chinese dream at an early date.

I wish our Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and traditional Chinese culture, promote the world, benefit the common people, and bring benefits to the people around the world.

阿弥陀佛。儒释道是一家，宗教团结最重要。

------ 诸葛长青

 　中华文化，源远流长。

   儒释道文化构成了中华文化的中坚力量。

   现在很多有奉献精神的中华儿女，纷纷投入到弘扬国学儒释道的大潮中。

   像陈大惠、蔡礼旭等更是舍身为文化，把自己奉献给国学传统文化。

   我们感恩这些默默奉献的人。他们功德无量，是中华文化的脊梁。

    儒释道本来是一家，都是劝人行善积德、积极向上的好文化。

    我们感恩佛家释迦牟尼佛、道家老子、儒家孔子，感恩他们创造的高智慧文化。感恩古今高僧大德、道家仙人、儒家圣贤为中华文化作出的突出贡献。

    而佛家的《心经》、《金刚经》、《地藏经》、《华严经》、《法华经》《了凡四训》等经典，道家的《道德经》、《清静经》、《太上感应篇》等经典，儒家的《大学》、《中庸》、《论语》、《孟子》、《周易》、《弟子规》、《孝经》、《三字经》、《菜根谭》、《增广贤文》等经典，更是让人们智慧飞跃。

   诸葛长青研究国学认为，儒释道文化核心都是劝人向善、精进修行、提升自我、造福社会的，所以本质上是一致的。

   去过少林寺的有缘者，都会知道少林寺有“三教合一碑”。

   这座“三教合一碑”即是“混元三教九流图赞碑”。

   此图从整体上看是一位和尚的图像，也就是佛教的代表。

   正面形象代表的是释迦牟尼。

   左侧头戴方巾者为儒教的代表，即孔子。

   右侧头后挽个发髻的则是道教的图像，即老子。

   三教共存一碑，一片圆融。这三个头像合在一起，加上合肩、合上身，浑成一体，两手捧“九流混元图”，构成佛、儒、道三教及“九流”的“混元三教九流图”。
   “三教合一碑”即是“混元三教九流图赞碑”碑文曰:
   佛教见性，道教保命，儒教明伦，纲常是正。
   农流务本，墨流备世，名流责实，法流辅制，
   纵横应对，小说谘询，阴阳顺天，医流原人，
   杂流兼通，述而不作。博者难精，精者未博。
   日月三光，金玉五谷，心身皮肤，鼻口耳目。
   为善殊途，咸归于治。曲士偏执，党同排异。
   毋患多歧，各有所施。要在圆融，一以贯之。
   三教一体，九流一源，百家一理，万法一门。
   诸葛长青看了很是赞叹这些高人的碑文，说透了万法归一，说透了儒释道，说透了文化渊源，令人赞叹。

   “三教”是佛道儒三教。佛家坐红莲，道家着青衣，儒家隐秘遁形似白藕。

  　嵩山是儒释道共处的圣地之一，也是三教合一体现最为完美的地方，其宗教文化各具特色。在嵩山的三教圣地中，以中国古代四大书院之一的嵩阳书院为代表的儒家文化在我国儒学方面占有重要地位；嵩山大法王寺建于东汉时期，是中国佛教寺院的发祥地之一，少林寺是中国佛教的禅宗祖庭，佛教文化独领风骚；中岳庙是我国现存最早的道教庙宇之一，踞今已有2000多年的历史。在嵩山，儒释道和谐共处，共同发展。

   道教全真派的始创人王重阳说：

   儒门释户道相通，三教从来一祖风。
    红莲白藕青荷叶，三教原来是一家
   莲花是红色---代表佛教；

   荷叶是青色---代表道教；

   藕根是白色---代表儒教。

   三者形象虽各不相同，而实际却是一个生命共同体。

   儒释道三家就如同红莲、白藕、青荷叶一样，皆为一家之血脉。

   诸葛长青认为，仔细思考，儒释道的确如此啊。儒释道本一家、好像一株红莲花。时时刻刻不分离啊。

   此外，有善知识总结了儒释道文化融合的历史：

   儒、佛、道三教合一的思想，初起唐。三教讲论，虽肇始于北周武帝时，然直至唐代始以儒、佛、道三教名流论难为风尚，并渐由论难而趋于融汇调和。罗香林《唐代三教讲论考》一文，通过对唐代三教讲论的具体考察，指出三教归一之旨，在唐代"久已普遍朝野"。

  （1）三教讲论导致了学者以释道义理解释儒家经义，从而促进了儒家思想的转变。显然，宋人理学，唐人已开其先绪。

  （2）至宋，宋儒周敦颐辈援佛入儒，革新儒学，形成理学。这已为学术界公认的事实。

   （3）及明，尤其是晚明，三教合一的思想更成一代思潮蔚为风气。 　　

   关于明代三教合一思想的研究，中外学者已有部分的研究成果。日本学者荒木见悟在《明代思想研究》、《明末宗教思想研究》二书中，专以管志道、林兆恩、屠隆三人为个案，考察明末儒、佛、道三教的调和思想。诸葛长青研究发现，一代儒学大师王阳明也是研究佛家、道家、儒家的大师。

  （4）而岛田虔次更是通过对晚明士大夫生活与意识的勾勒，以说明三教合一思想对士人生活的部分渗透。

  （5）柳存仁著有《明儒与道教》、《王阳明与佛道二教》等文。比较系统地厘清了明儒与佛、道二教之关系。而李焯然对明代著名学者焦的三教观所作的个案分析，无疑更有助于理解晚明三教合一思想的深入人心。

   （6）明代儒、佛、道三教合流，是以儒家学者为中心，并由众多名僧、方士参与其间，互相交游，互为影响，最终导致佛、道的世俗化以及儒学的通俗化。本文与前人研究的不同之处，则在于将思想史或宗教史的课题，以社会史的角度加以考察，亦即通过综合剖析明儒三教合一之论，或者来自佛、道人士的对此论的响应，以阐明这种观念对晚明思想、文化的深远影响，以及在明代士人和民间生活层面所烙下的种种印记。

   （7）到了清朝，儒释道文化融合进一步飞跃，顺治皇帝，从道家进入儒家，后来进入佛家；乾隆皇帝，先儒家、后道家、最后研究佛家.....曾国藩被称为近代圣人，备受毛泽东赞叹。而曾国藩、毛泽东都是儒释道的大成研究者。

    (8)到现在，中华文化日渐繁荣，南怀瑾等国学大师更是精通儒释道的大师，儒释道文化思想，时刻融汇人们生活之中。诸葛长青发现全国各地出现了儒释道文化大繁荣的前奏，各个地方许多仁人志士，都投入到弘扬国学儒释道的大潮中。诸葛长青认为，儒释道繁盛之时，中华振兴之日。

   祝愿我们的祖国文化繁荣、国泰民安、人民幸福，早日实现中国梦。

     祝愿我们的儒释道国学文化，弘扬世界，造福苍生，普度天下有缘人。
