The Comparison Between the Viewpoints of Zhou Haimen and Peng Jiqing on Confucianism and Buddhism--Take Shengxue zongzhaun and Jushizhuan as examples / 周海門與彭際清儒佛觀比較研究--以《聖學宗傳》與《居士傳》為例

碩士 / 國立中央大學 / 中國文學系 / 106 / This dissertation aims to compare the two intellectual books, Zhou Haimen’s Shengxue zongzhaun with Peng Jiqing’s Jushizhuan. Shengxue zongzhaun establishes an orthodox academic viewpoint based on Lu Wang’s philosophy of Mind. It includes mainly Mind scholars and advocates Lu while devaluing Zhu. In addition, Zhou Haimen also includes some Confucianism scholars that highly accept Buddhism due to his intention to introduce Buddhism into Confucianism. The characters in the book are mostly arranged in time or in teacher-student order. By including Zhang Jiucheng in the book, Zhou Haimen manifests his intention to consider Cheng and Zhu to be Mind scholars. As for the philosophy part, Shengxue zongzhaun chiefly illustrates and carries forward the Mind philosophy, so it often takes a part for the whole toward other composers’ theories with his Mind perspective, making the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng-Zhu fade away. From the aspect of the relationship between Confucianism and Buddhism, Zhou Haimen assumes an embracing attitude toward Buddhism. He cites from it, and emphasizes real practice in daily life to find physical and spiritual peace. Jushizhuan was edited with an aim of “no difference between Confucianism and Buddhism,” and “merging Confucianism, Buddhism, with Taoism altogether.” The book includes not only householders, but people who are exceled at both Confucianism and Buddhism. Although the book tends to promote Pure Soil education, it includes various different factions without preference. Regarding his philosophy, Jiqing advocates Avatamsaka Sutra, so based on it, he endeavors to fuse Zen with Pure Soil education, and to return to Pure soil education. He also advocates to read mantra, claims that Confucianism and Buddhism are the same, and especially emphasizes on the Statecraft spirit of Buddhism. Overall, though both two books maintain to fuse Confucianism with Buddhism, but Shengxue zongzhaun has a stronger tendency toward the Mind philosophy while Buddhism being a complement. On the other hand, Jushizhuan suggests that Confucianism and Buddhism are at the same level, and there is no difference between them. The dissertation plans to explain Haimen’s and Jiqing’s Confucianism and Buddhism viewpoints, and their differences through the research mentioned above. Furthermore, the dissertation aims to present the fusion issue of Confucianism and Buddhism through intellectual books research. By doing so, readers can see how scholars excelling at fusing Confucianism and Buddhism present differently in Confucianism and Buddhism intellectual books. Besides, this dissertation can break through the convention that previous intellectual books usually concentrate on Confucianism, and can bridge the gap between intellectual books of Confucianism and Buddhism.
