What is Buddhist thought ? What is the essence of Buddhism?

The key theory in the Buddhist scriptures is Buddhism. For example".Do not do all evil, do all good, and pursue self-purificationThis is an important thought of Buddhism.

The difference between the essence of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism is the pursuit of difference.

1. The essence of Buddhism's thought: great compassion without cause, great compassion throughout the body. Both born and entered the WTO. Entering the WTO in order to save sentient beings; To be born is to teach all sentient beings to understand the true meaning of the living universe, to get out of the sea of suffering, and to reach the other side. Buddhism talks about the relationship between people and their minds.

2. The essence of Taoist thought: the unity of heaven and man, and the rule of inaction. Go with the flow, don't force it, don't go against the sky. Taoism talks about the relationship between man and nature.

3. The essence of Confucianism: joining the WTO and governing the world. The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, are their models. Confucianism is about the relationship between people.

The essence of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism is different.

First, the theme of culture.

Confucian culture: enterprising culture.

Taoist Culture: Regular Culture.

Buddhist culture: dedication culture.

Second, the standard of life.

Confucian culture: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.

Taoist culture: comprehend the Tao, cultivate morality, seek nature, keep duty, and ignore fame and fortune.

Buddhist culture: do not do all evil, practice all good, obey the ten precepts, have a stable mind, and use wisdom.

3. Outlook on life.

Confucian culture: positive and enterprising, meritorious service.

Taoist culture: go with the flow and self-improvement.

Buddhist culture: love for all sentient beings, selfless dedication.

From the creation point of view: Buddhism believes that there is no so-called creator, and that all things arise from dependent origination, and the so-called dependent origin is cause and effect.

In terms of faith: Buddhism advocates wisdom and faith, and the Buddha once said: Don't choose to believe in my teachings because they are said by the Buddha, but choose faith after repeated study if there is no mistake.

In terms of life: Buddhism advocates contentment and less desire, the so-called contentment and less desire does not mean that there is no pursuit, laziness, but an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, not because of wealth and arrogance, nor because of poverty and inferiority.

In terms of mentality: Buddhism advocates the combination of compassion and wisdom, only compassion without wisdom may appear after building a bridge and starving to death of boatmen, only wisdom without compassion will appear high IQ bad people.

The core idea of Buddhism is the theory of dependent arising. The core of Buddhism can be expressed in four words, called the theory of dependent origination, or expressed in three words called the theory of dependent origination, and its most complete expression can be found in the "Ahama Sutra", which is composed of twenty words, which is "this life is therefore the other life, and this is extinguished."

Brief comment: It can be said to be accurate that the occurrence of any thing in the world is a phenomenon produced by the harmony of various causes, and if there is no one thing in this world, there will be no current us. So Buddhism believes that nothing in the world will disappear, including when people are gone.

Because everything in the universe is dependent on the cause and extinction, Buddhism also refers to the dependent origin and extinction as impermanence. Because everything is changing, everything is illusory and unreal, but this phenomenon of falsehood and unreality is real, and speaking of existence and non-existence leads to two other important words in Buddhism.

The core ideas of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths of Suffering, Concentration, Extinction, and Path, and the theory pursues the theory of cause and effect.

People who follow Buddhist thought believe that everything has a cause and effect, and that there is a cause and effect, and in their actions and actions, they pursue the emptiness of all things, and regard everything as empty (including their own life), that is, nirvana, which is popularly said to be not afraid of death, believing in reincarnation.

The basic teachings of Buddhism

In a sense, the main content of Buddhist teachings can be divided into two major aspects: one is the theoretical aspect of cause and effect and practice, which is the practical aspect, religious aspect, and moral aspect of Buddhist teachings. Buddhism's concept of good and evil cause and effect and practice have something in common with all other religions and moral teachings, and they also have their own special features.

The second is about the truth of life and the universe, which is the theoretical, philosophical, and dialectical aspect of Buddhist teachings. The Buddhist theory of the truth about life and the universe is the result of the foundation of Buddhist practice. Of course, in terms of specific content, it is impossible to separate these two aspects.

The core content of Buddhist thought is precepts, concentration, and wisdom. From the precepts to give birth to the determination, from the determination of wisdom. The Bird's Nest Zen Master expressed these three words into 16 characters in an easy-to-understand manner: do no evil, do all good, purify one's mind, and be all Buddhism.

The basic teachings of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Twelve Causes.

The Four Noble Truths include the Truth of Suffering, the Truth of Concentration, the Truth of Extinction, and the Truth of the Path. The truth of suffering is to judge everything in social life as suffering, the truth of concentration is to talk about the causes of suffering, the truth of extinction is to cause people to eliminate the causes of suffering, and the truth of the path is to point out the path to liberation for Buddhists, which can be summarized as the Noble Eightfold Path.
