一贯与有无——从耿定向儒佛之辨谈起

The Conjuncture between Being and Non-Existence,on the Differences between Buddhism and Confucianism

耿定向从两方面展开儒佛之辨,一、批判佛学自了全归说,提倡儒家费隐一贯说,认为只有本诸吾心而推极天下,才是真正经世出世。只有一生用功,无渗漏处才是儒家全归。二、定向超越佛家空相,认为从有入无是初机了见,从无入有才可以经纶大本,化育天下。从根心不容已处证入,在心体尽头处忘知无意,才可以本诸天则,从心所欲不逾矩,才是直指中源,体用合一。

Geng Dingxiang thought there were two differences between Buddhism and Confucianism. First, at the beginning ,Buddhism was just for itself sake of getting freedom. On the contrary, Confucianism was for everyone world--wide to follow the Dao ,because the Dao was hiding in daily life. Second, in essence ,Buddhism was nothing, but Confucianism transformed knowledge into Dao where the soul was a prefect entity . The achievements of Dao were here and where,but Dao was unvisual.
