Features: This book takes the process of the sinicization of Buddhist ethics as the vertical thread and the interrelationship between Buddhist ethics and Confucian ethics as the horizontal thread. By examining issues such as the concepts of good and evil, the view of precepts, the perspective of practice, the view of life, and the attitude toward filial piety, it conducts an in-depth analysis and systematic elaboration of the main category system of Chinese Buddhist ethical thought. It also explores how Buddhist ethics, after being introduced to China, combined with traditional ethics and gradually evolved into an integral part of Chinese ethical thought.
