The "Four Sentences Of Conscience" Under The Fusion Of Confucianism And Buddhism

Yangming Wang,born in Ming Dynasty,enjoyed great reputation as a scholar of Confucianism.He had his own ideology,as one of the most influential Confucius ideologies in history,about combination of three aspects—establishing unique and essential arguments in own words,establishing great and merit achievements,and establishing gracious morality and behaviors.His ideological system had inherited Xi Zhu ' s ideology,while Wang had also reclaimed a new method to practice Confucianism--there were three essentials of integration of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism.Wang's achievements of his ideology were to extend conscience to everything in the world,and the relationship between virtue and viciousness in “Four Sentences”.The concern of the paper is the perspective of disposition based on combination of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism,in order to explain Wang's relationship between virtue and viciousness in “Four Sentences”.Also,Wang's “Four Sentences” are explained from perspectives of doctrine and argumentation,in order to explain the combination of the main ideas of “Four Sentences” and the main ideology of Buddhism.Yangming Wang was limited to the Confucian Theory when he was young.While his life was puzzled,he tried to find corresponding methods in Taoism and Buddhism in order to deal with doubts.Wang aimed to be a sage.He tried to understand the truth of life by observing bamboos,but failed,and then he started to experience life and ideologies of Taoism and Buddhism.Later,he proposed theory about extension of conscience to everything in Yangming Cave in Guizhou Province,and this theory could be the symbol that Wang turned his ideology back to Confucianism.Also,Wang created “Four Sentences” of the relationship between virtue and viciousness while growing elder.From the theory of extending consciences and “Four Sentences” of the relationship between virtue and viciousness,some details are explain in article,including how Wang had inherited Confucian ideology,and how Wang had absorbed Buddhism thoughts to his theory.Also,how to define “Buddha Nature” and “consciousness” in Buddhism Theory become the main questions in the paper,and how to find the meaning in “Four Sentence” of the relationship between virtue and viciousness becomes the main clue in the paper.Furthermore,comparison of “none-differences” and constructivism of virtue and viciousness is defined as the foundation of the paper.Moreover,the "sense" is not only from the cause,but also called the Buddha nature,and it can also be cut in from the result.From the logical relation,the sense in Buddha's nature is regarded as the corresponding point of meaning in the movement of meaning.Wang also had great achievements in inheritances of Mencius ideology,and temperamental order provides evidences to "Respect for Virtue" and Taoism.Therefore,this article focuses on the integration of Confucianism,Buddhism and Buddhism from the two sentences of “the body of no good and no nausea" and "the good and the malicious movement".Four sentence teaching after two,"evil is known to know the good conscience","good to evil is standard" "good" and "evil" into Confucian ethical system,they have a certain degree of standards,such as the Confucian "minister and emperor,father and son".However,failing to fall into the specific situation,it is a continuous process of practice,and it is also a process of constantly improving things and constantly improving conscience.The first chapter of this paper from the three times that Wang failed to find out the old Buddha's sage,"the conscience",put forward "four sentence teaching","the conscience" and "four sentence teaching interpretation".The second chapter explains Wang ' s inheritance and development of Confucianism,the inheritance and development of Buddhist thought.From constructivism of virtue and viciousness of Confucianism and Buddhism and none-differences,feeling and meaning are in contrast,contrast of Confucianism and Buddhism fusion interpretation.The last chapter,the author describes the meaning of the integration of Confucianism and Buddhism,effects of “Four Sentences” to postYangming theory about from “feeling to facts”,and effects to the modern society.From the meaning dimension to the feeling dimension,the transition from the intention dimension to the feeling dimension is gradually approaching the constructivism of virtue and viciousness and emptiness perspective.The transition from the objects to meaning is also the process of doing everything with specific reasons to understanding matters.Finally,in the note,the author states some understanding of the conscience collapse as the remainder.
