林兆恩与明末三教合一论比较

Lin Zhao'en and His Idea of the Unification of the Three Religions at the End of the Ming Dynasty

明末文人论三教合一大潮中,林兆恩与王学左派的主张既有相同之处,又各具特色。林兆恩认识到了当时儒释道三教的弊端,提出了三教心性相同、归儒宗孔的三教合一思想,王学左派则主张超越三教,以心性统摄三教。

Among those who expounded on the unification of the three religions at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Zhao＇en and the leftist of the Wang School were very special in what they advocated. Lin recognized the shortcomings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and advanced the sameness of the three religions in nature and their unification by returning to Confucianism and Confucius; the leftists advocated the governing the three religions with the nature of mind.
