How to view the role of
the theory of good nature in the harmony of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism?
Good nature is not only a Confucian patent, buddhas also speak of good
nature. The three religions are able to reconcile their views on the good and
evil of human nature. The basic point is that they all emphasize the goodness
and tranquility of nature. From the perspective of "heart", that is,
the essence of Confucianism, it is the "consistent" way to be quiet,
to be good and to be mature, while in Buddhism, it is the "beginning with
the good". Accumulation of good, adult is "finally with good
nature". Therefore, Confucianism and Buddhism are completely complementary
and mutually supporting: Confucius taught the middle way, established the
emperor ji,
established the value orientation of the country; Buddha guided individuals to
be self-conscious and self-disciplined, so that the value orientation of the
state was transformed into the pursuit of self-practice.
The key of "the same
morality" and "the same merit" in Confucianism, Buddhism and
Taoism lies in the unity of "tranquility" and "purity".
Confucianism and Taoism advocate "tranquility", while Buddhism
advocates "purity". However, "tranquility" aims at
"purity", and the elimination of desire is the common requirement of
the three schools. The content of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is to
cultivate the mind and get rid of the evil and follow the good. That is, the
purpose of stillness is "purity", thus revealing the supreme good
nature (Buddha nature).
How did Li Ao discuss his "love revenge"?
Li Ao does
not agree with Han Yu's theory of the three qualities of temperament based on
the consistency of temperament. He connected "the nature of the mandate of
heaven" with "life is quiet, the nature of heaven is also", and
thought about the category of the nature of the mandate of heaven from the
perspective of "quiet", thus taking a new step in the history of the
development of the Confucian theory of nature.
In Li Ao's
view, the nature of destiny is quiet and pure good, while the reality of human
activity is both good and evil. Since the good of love is the natural
continuation of nature, the evil only reflects the unique characteristics of
love, so Li Ao's theory of sex is usually summarized
as the good of nature and the evil of love, and the way to save it is to
destroy the love and revenge.
Li Ao said
that it is the static return from the trend, the reality to the innate return.
The clarity of nature will not be eroded away by the interference of acquired
desires. In moral practice, the key of moving back to stillness lies in the
elimination of desire, which belongs to the category of movement. Confucian
asceticism and Buddhist asceticism are combined here.
