1, different areas of concern:
Confucian benevolence only pays attention to this world; The "compassion" of Buddhism is to pursue the western paradise for all sentient beings, not only for people, but also for the heaven, man, beast and ghost hell in the Six Roads. Christian fraternity pursues heaven and realizes the purification and sublimation of the soul. In other words, Buddhism and Christianity pursue an illusory world, not a secular world.
2. Different focus groups:
The benevolence of Confucianism, the concern for mankind, and all the thoughts in the Five Classics of Confucianism are just talking about human norms and ethics; The compassion of Buddhism pays attention to all sentient beings; Christian fraternity is for all living things, human animals, flowers and trees.
3. Different implementation methods:
Confucian benevolence thought is divided into five levels: benevolence, self-love, love for relatives, universal love, and the integration of benevolent and universe. According to the principle of "love is poor", love your relatives first, and then spread to others from the inside out, from near to far, which includes what we often say today: between people, between people, between people and society, and between people and nature.
Buddhist compassion lies in getting rid of the troubles of greed and love and turning false feelings into pure wisdom; Believing in cause and effect, mentioning the truth of cause and effect, and suffering from reincarnation, Buddhism has spread 84 thousand dharmas to adapt to all beings with different foundations and hope that the public will be freed.
Christian fraternity, on the other hand, is to get the sublimation of the soul through infinite efforts.
Extended data:
Confucianism refers to the thought of Confucian school, which was founded by Confucius, a thinker at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucianism founded by Confucius has formed a complete ideological system on the basis of summarizing, generalizing and inheriting the traditional culture of respecting relatives in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Confucius, the founder of the Confucian school, said, "Words must be faithful and deeds must be fruitful", which is the essence of his own thoughts.
Christianity summarizes the whole truth and core of its belief as the most fundamental principles of loving God (you should love the Lord-your God wholeheartedly) and loving yourself (you should not retaliate or blame your own people, but love yourself), and regards the law of love as the greatest law. So Christianity is also called the religion of love.
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.
