Buddhism is the religion of orientals, the concentrated expression of oriental traditional culture, the crystallization of oriental wisdom, and it is indeed a rare treasure in the treasure house of oriental culture. Buddhism has been affecting the material life and spiritual life of oriental people for more than 2,5 years since Sakyamuni was founded, involving almost all aspects of society such as philosophy, science, literature, art (architecture, sculpture, music, art), aesthetics, pedagogy, psychology and ethics. In the history of our country, there have been many great scholars, philosophers, writers and artists related to Buddhism, such as Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, Xie Lingyun, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, as well as 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 (all kinds of psychology), quantum physics, nanotechnology, holographic theory, aerospace science, and various dilemmas (population, environment, abnormal climate, financial crisis, high crime rate, etc.) that human beings are currently facing, it is constantly confirmed that Sakyamuni Buddha was as early as 2,5 years ago. The Buddha's teachings are so straightforward, straight to the point, so true 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 are learning from the East and spreading from the West, and Buddhism is widely accepted by Europe and the United States, which is the new trend of cultural exchanges between the East and the West. This is just a 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 work.
※ Engels (Germany)
□ Dialectical thought is only possible for talents, and only for people at a relatively advanced stage of development (Buddhists and Greeks).
※ friedrich Nietzsche (famous German philosopher)
□ Buddhism is the only truly positive religion in history. It regards kindness and compassion as promoting health and can't take revenge.
※ Bertrand Russell (a famous British philosopher)
□ Among many religions, I am in favor of Buddhism.
□ Of all the religions in history, I am most fond of Buddhism, especially its primary form, which contains the least oppressive factors.
□ I think ... Buddha surpasses Jesus in wisdom and personality.
※ Zhang Taiyan
□ Buddhism was not a religion ... The purpose of all Mahayana is nothing more than breaking the barriers known and achieving all the wise, which clearly means seeking the wise, and it is definitely not to establish a religion and persuade people to believe.
□ Buddhism ... is better known as the positivist of philosophy than religion.
□ The theory of Buddhism makes Homo sapiens believe it; Buddhist precepts make fools believe. From top to bottom, this is the most available.
※ Liang Qichao
□ I'm a common superstitious person, knocking on the subtle and supreme principle, saying that it's what nature knows, beyond our reach, and it's the law of an autocratic monarch, so we can't meet the people. Otherwise, Buddhism's biggest program is to cultivate both sorrow and wisdom, to become a Buddha from the beginning to the end, and to turn < P > into enlightenment as a great cause.
□ The belief in Buddhism is wisdom rather than superstition, goodness rather than solitude, and accession to the WTO rather than weariness.
□ Buddhism is also true if it shines brightly in history. During the hundreds of years from the Six Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, people with lofty aspirations and profound knowledge entered the scope of Buddhism.
※ Kang Youwei
□ The breadth and subtlety of Buddhism, as for the disjointed words and deeds, his mind and actions are unique. Although there are sages who have nothing to do, they are inclusive and far-reaching.
※ Dr. Sun Yat-sen
□ Buddhism is the benevolence of saving the world, and Buddhism is the mother of philosophy. Studying Buddhism can help science. Citizens can't live without religious thoughts. Religion has the function of supporting politics, politics has the power to protect education, politics governs the body, and teaching governs the heart, which complement each other and go hand in hand.
※ Chen Duxiu
□ The breadth and profundity of Buddhism are beyond doubt.
※ Xu Shoutang
□ Although China is now known as the Republic of China, foreign aggression is very strong, people's morale is declining, and ordinary citizens are weak, flashy, cheap and deceitful, which is even worse in the late Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, we advocate Buddhism, treat cowardice with bravery and fearlessness, treat flashy heart with Buddhism, treat vulgar heart with self-respect, and treat deceitful heart with forbearance; While respecting history and sorting out national heritage, we can cultivate national self-confidence. Otherwise, the road ahead is boundless, and how can it help?
※ According to Zhang Junli
□ Gai Shizun, great compassion arises from all beings, bodhicitta arises from great compassion, and enlightenment is achieved. If you have a sense, you will naturally be inseparable from wisdom. The greatest feature of Buddhism is the cultivation of both compassion and wisdom, which is beyond the reach of other religions in the world. The believers he taught started from superstition. If you turn to Buddhism, you will be wise.
※ Mao Zedong
□ Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, advocated universal salvation for all beings, speaking 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 and became a monk to establish Buddhism. Therefore, people who believe in Buddhism cooperate with us * * * producers to relieve the pressure and pain for all living beings, that is, the people.
□ In ancient times, the Buddha preached magnificent teachings and blessed the whole world with peace and security.
□ Huineng advocates that everyone has Buddha nature, and creates the theory of enlightenment to become a Buddha, which on the one hand simplifies the complicated Buddhism; On the one hand, it makes the Buddhism introduced from India China.
※ Lu Xun
□ Sakyamuni is really a great philosopher. I usually have many difficult problems in life, but most of them have already understood the enlightenment. What a great philosopher.
※ Li Shicen
□ I think that the advocacy of Buddhism is not unique in that it has no contradiction with science, and it can add a layer of depth to scientific methods, a layer of correctness to scientific classification, and a layer of guarantee to scientific effectiveness.
※ Jiazhen Shen
□ I am a scientist and I am very interested in science. I am also interested in Buddhism. Personally, I think Buddhism and science are one and two, and two and one.
□ Science can only help us to know more about enlightenment, as Buddha's people said, but it can't lead us to enlightenment. If we want to realize enlightenment, we must practice in the way taught by the Buddha.
※ Yang Zhenning
□ Buddhism is one of the great religions in the world. After it was introduced to China more than 2, years ago, it had a profound influence on China culture.
※ Wang Jitong
□ Philosophers only speculate on this (the truth of Buddhism, that is, the universal noumenon, the ultimate truth), but Buddhism is a witness. Therefore, Buddhist philosophy and modern western philosophy seem to be several times more precise than western philosophy.
※ Zhu Guangqian
□ Buddhism pursues the cause of joining the WTO with the spirit of being born.
※ Einstein (German-American)
□ If there is any religion that can meet the needs of modern science, it must be Buddhism.
□ Religion without science is lame, and science without religion is blind.
□ Space, time and matter are illusions of human cognition.
the religion of the future will be the religion of the universe. It should transcend the individualized god, avoid dogma and theology, and cover both nature and spirit. Its foundation should be based on a certain religious consciousness, the source of which is the experience gained when all natural and spiritual things are experienced as a meaningful whole. Buddhism is the kind of religion described above.
Nehru (1889-1964), an outstanding Indian politician
□ If there is any problem that we have to consider, we have to consider it calmly and democratically according to the teachings of the Buddha.
□ Buddha is greater than all theories and dogmas, and his enlightenment has been shocking mankind for thousands of years. There is probably no other time in history when human beings who are now suffering and upset need his revelation of peace more.
□ In this world full of conflicts and storms, hatred and violence, the teachings of the Buddha shine like the sun. In this world full of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, there is no more need for this teaching than now. The 25-year experience of mankind only further proves the durability and authenticity of this teaching. Let's remember this eternal teaching and try to innovate our thoughts and correct our behavior according to the Buddha's teaching method. In this way, even in the frightening era of atomic bombs, we will face it calmly and freely, and do our bit to promote the right thinking.
※ Honorable Dr. W. Luo Luoluo
□ Buddhism is realistic, because it adopts a realistic attitude towards life and the world. It does not lead us to the fool's paradise by mistake, and it will never threaten, torture and destroy us with all those imaginary fears and guilt. It accurately and objectively describes us and the world around us, and points out a happy road to complete freedom, peace and tranquility.
※ Francis Stoli
□ The principle of Buddhism is as unaffected by time changes and knowledge explosion as it was when it was first expressed today. No matter how the growth of scientific knowledge expands the horizon of human psychology, there is always room to accept and digest more scientific discoveries in the framework of' law', but it does not rely on the limited concepts in the original thought to appeal to some people's minds, nor does it rely on the power of its negative thought.
※ Dr. Baldwin (English)
□ Buddhism is the savior of mankind today! Nowadays, there are more and more scholars studying Buddhism, because Buddhism is higher than all religions. Although science and philosophy have made great progress, the most logical thing about its invention is that it can also communicate with Buddhism. Besides, Buddhism is the deepest, most extensive and most authentic, which is by no means beyond the reach of all academic religions in this world.
※ Ha Zlate Ilayat Khan
□ The nature of the Buddha's mission is very special. So it is quite different from other religions in the world. Buddha's mission is to make those "idealistic birds" fly closer to the earth, because the food that nourishes their bodies comes from the earth after all.
※ Mrs. Sarah Naifu (USA)
□ Buddhism has been advancing all the time in its long history. It not only keeps pace with modern science, but also stands ahead of science. Buddhism, like science, is brand-new and applicable today. Why? Because the Buddha is based on the irrefutable truth.
※ George Wan Lei (USA)
□ Now the world is in urgent need of saving. I think that only the light and holiness of the Buddha can people be truly saved and truly liberated and free.
Dr. Frankie (Netherlands)
The root cause of world wars is that some countries are too greedy and too powerful, bullying and dominating, which leads to cruel wars. The Ten Commandments of Moses have been mentioned, but the truth is not fully understood, so it has not been effective. The unique Buddhist theory is very exact, especially the Buddhist precepts are very essence. If Buddhism can be popularized, it will be a great harmony in the world.
※ Mrs. Mantelson (Germany)
□ The Buddhist principle of life can make people get spiritual purification and happiness, and make their lives full, happy and reasonable. Buddhist thought can lead to peace and make mankind know that unjust war is barbaric. Buddhism does not encourage people to follow blindly, but guides people to think deeply and accept its teachings. Any wise person who ponders the truth of Buddhism will achieve mental enlightenment and feel bright in his heart.
□ The teachings of Buddha are not only designed for orientals, but also needed by all westerners. Anyone who can study Buddhism intensively can get incredible wisdom and ideological power. Now, the time has come. Orientals should show Mahayana Buddhism to the west as soon as possible, and westerners should study it as soon as possible. The great contribution of the east to the world civilization is Mahayana Buddhism.
※ Mrs. Krylou (English)
□ Religion and science are mutually exclusive, and they cannot be accommodated. This is largely due to the fact that some religions are faithful to God's revelation, and they stand still and refuse to study the natural laws of the universe. Only the eastern religion-Buddhism, which put forward the law of cause and effect and the law of origin, can engage in the study of Buddhism and life, and can withstand scientific reasoning and verification. Therefore, Buddhism is an enlightening religion, and only it can be compared with science.
□ What Buddhism has revealed is a kind of ideological law that makes mind and meaning meet * * *, and its profound content is unparalleled!
※ Sir John H. Spawn (England)
□ I traveled in Southeast Asian countries and contacted Buddhists. What moved me most was that there was a solemn and peaceful atmosphere around them. Moreover, large and small Buddha statues can be seen everywhere, sitting in a noble, quiet, loving and dignified manner. This kind of atmosphere and expression alone have deeply impressed the basic characteristics of the Buddha into my mind, which has fascinated me.
※ Dr. Fernando (Sri Lanka)
□ The Buddhist way of life can make people feel comfortable and make life reasonable and sincere; The best way to make mankind know that war is barbaric and foolish is to publicize the truth and opinions of Buddhism too much. Buddhism doesn't force people to follow blindly, but anyone who has wisdom and thought deeply about Buddhist principles
has no one who can't be happy and feel at ease.
※ Ms. Longspere (France)
□ The nobility of Buddhist meaning and the purity of truth have great appeal to many French people who are pure in consciousness and good at Taoism, and those who are dissatisfied with religious beliefs and true free thinkers. We not only see the chaos and pain all over the world now, but also feel that the application of Buddhism can solve all kinds of problems we are facing at present. Then, we can arouse mankind and make it urgent to pay attention to the work of Buddhism.
※ Dr. Wells (English)
□ The Dharma Sound of the Buddha, the fundamental teachings of the Buddha, is very simple and clear from studying its original knowledge today, and it is the most consistent with the modern concept. It is the sharpest and rational success since ancient times, and it is beyond debate.
※ Professor Norman Penaeus (English)
□ Buddhism is a good medicine for "advocating" modern diseases. In our painful and tired Europe, we absolutely need the teachings of the Buddha, which is the' teaching of the middle way'. It can broaden our horizons, enlighten our consciousness, lead us to a peaceful and bright road and gain great wisdom.
