12. Sot'aesan's view of the central teachings of
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is: "Thus Buddhism,
taking as the substance of the doctrine the unreality of
all phenomena of the world, has elucidated the way for
turning the deluded to the enlightened by teaching the
truth of no-origination and noannihilation. Confucianism,
taking as the substance of its doctrine the phenomenal
reality of all beings of the universe, has elucidated
mainly the way of individual moral cultivation,
regulating one's family, ruling a state, and putting the
world at peace, by teaching the morality of the Three
Bonds and the Five Human Relation and the four virtues of
jen, i, li, and chi [humanity, righteousness, propriety,
and wisdom]. Taoism, taking as the substance of its
doctrine the way of the nature of the universe,
elucidated the way of purity, serenity, and non-action by
teaching the method of nourishing one's original nature"
(K. 125-6).

18. Sot'aesan might have said, using Wittgenstein's expression
(On Certainty,
P.445
P. 15) , that different religious doctrines provide
different Weltbild through which the faithful of each
religion view one and the same thing differently; and
using Thomas Kuhn's terminology [ The Structure Of
Scientific Revolution, Chicago: The University of Chicago
Press, 2nd ed., 1970). p. 35],that different religions
provide different religious "paradigms" through which the
faithful see only certain things, and do not see other
things which other people see.

"Yeh-fu's(bl) 'Eulogy to the Circle'...of all the
dharmas, pure or impure, in the four dharma realms of
three worlds, not a single dharma arises outside of this
Circle. In Ch'an it is called the first phrase; in
Chiao(bm) [textual teaching] it is called the pure dharma
