ReligionThis is a featured page

Most people only have one religion of which they believe… But the Chinese have three different religions that they all believe in

For example a person can believe in Confucianism when it comes to his/her family, Daoism when it comes to his/her everyday living, and Buddhism when it comes to problems solving issues.

Religions
1. Confucianism-family and ethics
2. Daoism- physical and psychological health
3. Buddhism- individualistic

Each religion share common beliefs
All religions believed in:
  1. Humanistic- how people treat others in order to please their gods
  2. Perfecting life on earth
  3. Living in harmony with the world and others
Daoism and Buddhism both believe in multiple heavens and hells
  • Reading: For example
    • In Chapter 8 of The Year of Rice and Salt Book1: “Awaken to Emptiness” when Ku had died and went to Kali-Yuga, one of the many layers between heaven and earth (pg 85)
Ideal Personals (these is what people starve to become)
  1. Confucianism
    • Sage- followed the rules; he lived a desire-less life
  2. Daoism
    • Average Person- Someone who is kind and ethical. This person will become immortal, but he/she will always return back to earth to help others.
  3. Buddhism
    • Desire-less Person- much like the Daoist ideal person. This person will also be reborn to help others (but they are not immoral).
