Building Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism

by Diana Arghirescu

Diana Arghirescu's 'Building Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism' delves into the tight bonds between Buddhism and Confucianism during China's Song era. Arghirescu, drawing from Qisong's 'Essays on Assisting the Teaching', investigates the influences between these two traditions. Qisong's writings were the first significant attempt to philosophically compare the key aspects of Confucian and Chan Buddhist thought, aiming to create a substantial intellectual and ethical link between them.
