Liu Yiming,as a representative of the thought of the integration of the three religions of Taoism,occupies an important position in the history of Taoism.On the basis of absorbing and drawing lessons from Confucianism and Buddhism,he constructed an ideological system of union of the three religions,which mainly integrates Confucianism and Buddhism,thus forming a unique theory of religious integration,which has a far-reaching impact on the development of Taoism.Based on Liu Yiming’s understanding of Taoism,this paper makes a profound analysis of Liu Yiming’s thought of the unity of the three religions.Firstly,it combs Liu Yiming’s life and main works,investigates the source of Liu Yiming’s thought of three religions in one,and clarifies the internal thread of his thought.Then it discusses the concrete content of the thought of the unity of the three religions from the two aspects of metaphysics and physics.It deeply studies the main contents of the three religions;revelation of the unity of Tao and the absorption of Confucianism and Buddhism in the thought of "Life",and explains in detail the ontological theory of "there are no two ways in the world,and the sage has no two minds",the cosmological theory of "naive qi first" and the relationship between life and qi.The three religions share the same doctrine of Tao,while the doctrine of life runs through the three doctrines.Then,from the perspective of philosophical methodology,the practice of Liu Yiming’s thought of three religions as one is discussed.The practice of Liu Yiming’s thought is mainly embodied in the two aspects of integrating the principles of Confucianism and Buddhism,and fusion of Confucianism and Buddhism to achieve Dandao,And discusses in detail on the science of uniting the Confucianism,Buddhism,Taoism,all follow the principle of put before the realization of cultivation,think of three religions in the concrete practice in practice to implement the three links,each link with a trace of the three religions and the cords and the practice that three religions in different cultivation methods,on the cultivation target is consistent,three religions to a contract.Finally,the contribution and limitation of Liu Yiming’s thought are discussed.The contribution of Liu Yiming’s thought to the development of Taoism and the limitation of Liu Yiming’s thought itself are examined in detail.The pattern of integration of Confucianism and Buddhism promoted the integration of the three religions and promoted the integration of Chinese national culture,but there was also a bias in the integration of the three religions.Different thinkers and different schools of thought can be inspired from Liu Yiming’s thought of integrating three religions.Liu Yiming’s innovation that the essence of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism are in a melting pot has been embodied in the spirit of combination of three religions.
