dc.description.abstractBuddhism and Confucianism are the two torches of Eastern civilization. Both of these religious are vital forces aiming at the development of benevolence, wisdom and guidance to a life of peace, happiness and. order. For more than two thousand years, although dynasties rose and fell and events of history passed by, the teachings of the Buddha and Confucius were as two lighthouses which guided everyone who wanted to achieve a happy life. The aim of the teachings of the Buddha and Confucius is to establish a peaceful society and bring happiness to all people in the world. Indeed, while the Buddha in India said: You yourself must make an effort. The Buddhas are only Teachers showing the way. Be you a lamp (light) to yourself. Be you a refuge to yourself. Seek not others for refuge. One is the master of oneself. By oneself evil is done, by oneself one must suffer pain. ... To stop doing evil, to try and learn to do good and to purify one's mind."
