Research On Li Daochun's Integration Of The Three Religions

Chhuan Chen Tao is an important supporting force of the thought of integrating the three religions into one.As a representative figure ofChhuan Chen Tao,Li Daochun has made his own contribution to the development of the thought of integrating the three religions into one.Li Daochun's thought originated from the theory of Taoism itself.He thought that the "Tao Te Ching" is the "ancestor of the Classics",and put forward the concept of "the way of truth "with the combination of "Tao Te Ching",that is,"the way of Lao-tzu".In his view,Tao is the origin of the universe and has the characteristics of universality,permanence and absoluteness.Besides studying the thought of his own school,Li Daochun also drew lessons from Confucianism and Buddhism.His thought of"neutralization",originated from Confucianism,was the core of his ideological system.His elucidation of "heart" came indirectly from Buddhism,while learning the Buddhism method of walking path,he expounded his own thoughts.Li Daochun put forward the ideas of "the three religions are of the same source" "three religions of one reason"and so on,but this is not a rough way of putting the three religions into one,but rather a way 'of"integrating the three religions in an abstract way",which endows Chinese culture with the spirits of "harmony without difference" and "seeking common ground while reserving differences." The unity of the three religions based on this thought is more acceptable to the world.
