Buddhism is the religion of orientals, the concentrated expression of oriental traditional culture, the crystallization of oriental wisdom, and indeed a rare treasure in the treasure house of oriental culture. Buddhism has been influencing the material life and spiritual life of orientals for more than 2,500 years since Sakyamuni was founded, involving almost all aspects of society such as philosophy, science, literature, art (architecture, sculpture, music, art), aesthetics, education, psychology and ethics. In the history of our country, there have been many scholars, philosophers, writers and artists related to Buddhism, such as Xuanzang, Xie Lingyun, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Zhu, Wang Yangming, and Li Zhi, Yuan Hongdao, Huang Zongxi and Su Shi. In modern times, with the development of computer science, fuzzy science, life science (such as natural therapy, cloning technology), psychoanalysis (various psychology), quantum physics, nanotechnology, holographic theory, aerospace science, and various difficulties (population, environment, abnormal climate, financial crisis, high crime rate, etc. What mankind is facing now is the constant confirmation of Sakyamuni Buddha as early as 2500 years ago. The Buddha's teachings are so straightforward, straight to the point, so real and practical, coupled with the Buddha's rigorous ideological system, the Buddha's compassionate spirit and positive and pragmatic style, which are attracting the attention of more and more people of insight in the West. Therefore, more and more people learn from the East and spread to the West, and Buddhism is widely accepted in Europe and America, which is a new trend of cultural exchange between the East and the West. This is just one sentence: truth transcends national boundaries, races and time and space, and truth has no patent right.
Karl Marx (Germany) ※
Dialectics has reached a more refined level among Buddhists.
-friedrich Cobain sent me two volumes of his book The Religion of the Buddha, which is a very important book.
Engels (Germany) ※
Dialectical thinking is possible only by genius, and only by people at a relatively advanced stage of development (Buddhists and Greeks).
Friedrich nietzsche (famous German philosopher) ※
Buddhism is the only real positive religion in history. It regards kindness and compassion as promoting health and cannot retaliate.
Bertrand Russell (a famous British philosopher) ※
Of all religions, I like Buddhism best.
Of all the religions in history, I have the greatest affection for Buddhism, especially its primary form, which contains the least oppressive factors.
I think, whether in wisdom or personality, ... Buddha is higher than Jesus.
Zhang Taiyan ※
-Buddhism is not a religion ... the purpose of all Mahayana is nothing more than breaking the known obstacles and achieving all wise people. Obviously, it means to be thirsty for talents, and it is definitely not to establish a religion and persuade people to believe it.
-Buddhism ... is not so much a religion as a philosophical positivist.
-Buddhist theory, so that homo sapiens can not but believe; Buddhist precepts make fools believe. From top to bottom, this is the most available.
Liang Qichao ※
-I am a common superstitious person, knocking on the principle of subtlety first, saying that it is known by nature and beyond our power. This is the law of an autocratic monarch, which the people can't see. Otherwise, the biggest program of Buddhism is to cultivate sorrow and wisdom, from the beginning to the end of becoming a Buddha, and keep turning.
Persistence in enlightenment is a great cause.
Belief in Buddhism is wisdom rather than superstition, kindness rather than loneliness, and accession to the WTO rather than world-weariness.
-Where there is fire in history, so is Buddhism. During the hundreds of years from the Six Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, people with lofty ideals and profound knowledge entered the scope of Buddhism.
Kang Youwei ※
-Buddhism is profound and profound. As for words and deeds, thoughts and actions are absolutely unique. Although there are sages who have nothing to do, they are inclusive and have far-reaching influence.
Sun Yat-sen ※
-Buddhism is the benevolence of saving the world, Buddhism is the mother of philosophy, and learning Buddhism contributes to science. Citizens can't live without religious thoughts. Religion has the function of supporting politics, and politics has the power to protect education. Politics is the main body and the leader's heart, which complement each other and go hand in hand.
Chen Duxiu. ※
The profundity of Buddhism is unbelievable.
Xu Shoutang ※
-Although China is now known as the Republic of China, and its foreign aggression is strong, the public's anger is declining. The general public is weak, flashy, cheap and deceitful, and regards the late Qing Dynasty as even worse. On the one hand, we advocate Buddhism, treat cowardice with courage and fearlessness, treat flashy hearts with Buddhism, treat vulgar hearts with self-respect, and treat deceitful hearts with forbearance; While respecting history and sorting out national heritage, we should cultivate national self-confidence. Otherwise, the road ahead is boundless, what help will it have?
Zhang Junli. ※
-Gai Shizun's statement is due to sentient beings, great compassion, bodhicitta and enlightenment. With feeling, you can't do without wisdom. The greatest feature of Buddhism is to cultivate compassion and wisdom, which is beyond the reach of other religions in the world. All the believers he taught began with superstition. If you convert to Buddhism, you will become wise.
Mao Zedong. ※
Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, advocated universal salvation and spoke on behalf of the oppressed people in India at that time. In order to avoid the suffering of all beings, he did not become a prince, but became a monk and became a Buddha. Therefore, people who believe in Buddhism cooperate with us to relieve the pressure for all beings, that is, the people.
In this respect, compulsion and pain are common.
In ancient times, the Buddha preached magnificent teachings and blessed the peace and security of the whole world.
□ Huineng advocates that everyone has a Buddha and creates an epiphany to become a Buddha. On the one hand, it simplifies the tedious Buddhism; On the one hand, it makes Buddhism introduced from India China.
Lu Xun ※
-Sakyamuni is a great philosopher. I usually have many problems that are difficult to solve in my life, but most of them have understood. What a great philosopher.
