儒、佛、道三教的结构与互补

The Structure of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and Their Complementarity

儒佛道是中国传统思想文化的核心,其中以儒为主干,以佛、道为辅翼,形成有中心、有层次的多元互动的良性机制。三教之间的互动及其内部哲学与宗教的互动,使中国人在哲学与宗教之间、理性与神性之间可以从容选择;在出世与入世之间自由来往,形成中庸、平和的心态。

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism constitute the core of traditional Chinese thinking and culture, a well-defined, organized and interactive multi-cultural system with Confucianism as the backbone flanked by Buddhism and Taoism. The interactions among the three and those inside each provide the Chinese with a choice between philosophy and religion and between rationality and divinity, and a freedom between involvement and detachment, thus forming the essential mentality of the Mean and Calmness.
