(1) Buddhism denies fatalism and believes that people have destiny, but it does not encourage people to resign themselves to fate, but hopes that people will create destiny. Buddhism holds that all laws are born of karma, so fate is born of karma. A bad fate can be changed by planting good fruits. Since fate can be changed through compassion, cultivation and repentance, it is not necessarily so unchangeable.
(2) Even the worst fate can be transformed through various practices. On the contrary, a good fate will degenerate if it is not well maintained. The so-called' be prepared for danger in times of peace' cannot but be cautious! "On China" said: "The law born of karma, I say it is empty, also known as a pseudonym, is also the morality of China". He also said: "There has never been a law that was not born by reason, so all laws are empty.
(3) Buddhism believes that things disappear when karma fails, and this phenomenon is "emptiness". So, what is karma? The reason is the main condition and the reason is the auxiliary condition. When the main conditions and auxiliary conditions are not available, there is nothing. With karma, things exist; When karma is unavailable, things disappear.
2. Taoist thought
(1) Taoism believes that "the body and the Communist Party govern together" and "the sage inside and the king outside" are the universal principles of self-cultivation in governing the country. A close reading of China's history reveals a secret: in their heyday, the policies of "using Huang Lao internally and showing Confucianism externally" were adopted.
(2) The Taoist thought of "governing by doing nothing" coincides with the western market economy thought of "invisible hand". In fact, whenever the rulers take Huang Lao's theory as the guiding ideology, they will recuperate, neglect taxes, and rule by arch, so that the world will be "self-righteous", production will resume development, economy will prosper, and peace and prosperity will emerge.
(3) Feudal rulers often use Taoism to consolidate their rule and pray for the long-term stability of the country. Qin Huang Hanwu was keen on magic, Tang Zong and Song Zu respected and fostered Taoism, and the wind of worshipping Taoism prevailed in Ming Dynasty. Folk Taoism often becomes the ideological weapon and organizational form of peasant uprising. From the Yellow Scarf Uprising in the late Han Dynasty, Li Hongzhang Uprising in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Anbaili Uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty and the Boxer Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, all kinds of uprisings emerged one after another, and "doing things for the sky" became a distinctive banner of peasant uprisings.
3. Confucianism
(1) The political thoughts of Confucianism are "benevolent politics", "kingliness" and "ritual system", and the ideals are "great harmony" and "great unity". Its political science mainly expounds the relationship between monarch and minister and the relationship between officials and people. Confucius said that "the monarch should be polite to his ministers, and the ministers should be loyal". The people are the most important, followed by the country, and the monarch is the least important. Xunzi said that "Tao does not follow the monarch, righteousness does not follow the father, and it is the greatest", which is a representative proposition of Confucian politics.
(2) On realistic political issues, Confucianism requires both the ruler and the ruled to undertake obligations. Theoretically, the ruled has the right to resist the rulers who usually have no obligation. "Good governance" advocates distinguishing between "can't" and "don't do", that is, the difference between "can't" and "don't do". And its "no constant production, no perseverance" also embodies the people-oriented thought.
(3) In international politics, Confucianism advocates "the distinction between Chinese and foreigners". In ancient times, the distinction between China people and foreigners promoted the spread of advanced culture in the Central Plains, but in modern times it became an obstacle to China's modernization.
1. The origin of Buddhism
(1) Buddhism has a history of more than 2,500 years, which was founded by Gautama Siddharta, the prince of Kapylovi Kingdom (now Nepal) in ancient India (refer to Buddha's birthday).
(2) Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India is actually trying to shape the image of a "Buddhist holy land".
2. The origin of Taoism
(1) Taoism is a native religion in China, with "Tao" as its highest belief. Taoism, the concept of China's ancient worship of ghosts and gods, is based on the thoughts of Huang and Lao Taoism, and has inherited the immortal magic since the Warring States Period.
(2) At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Taoist organizations appeared, including Taiping Dao and Wudoumi Dao. Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Shi Tian, officially founded the Youth League, with a history of 1800 years.
3. The origin of Confucianism
(1) Confucianism is an academic school founded by Confucius, developed by Mencius and accumulated by Xunzi. It has continued to this day and still has a certain vitality. Confucianism was originally one of the pre-Qin hundred schools of thought, and its founder was Confucius. (2) Confucianism was on an equal footing with a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period. After Qin Shihuang "burned books to bury Confucianism", Confucianism was hit hard.
