Chinese traditions of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism have a
profoundly philosophical dimension. The three traditions are
frequently referred to as three paths of moral teachings. In this
book, Mou provides a clear account of the textual corpus that
emerges to define each of these traditions and how this canonical
axis was augmented by a continuing commentarial tradition as each
generation reauthorized the written core for their own time and
place. Â In his careful exegesis, Mou lays out the
differences between the more religious reading of these traditions
with their defining practices that punctuate the human journey
through life, and the more intellectual and philosophical treatment
of the texts that has and continues to produce a first-order
culture of annotation that become integral to the traditions
themselves. Â At the center of the alternative religious
experience reflected throughout the teachings of Confucianism,
Daoism, and Buddhism is the project of personal cultivation as it
comes to be expressed as robust growth in family and communal
relations. For Mou, these three highly distinctive and yet
complementary ways of thinking and living constitute a kind of
moral ecology, wherein each of them complements the others as they
stand in service to a different dimension of the human need for an
educated spirituality.
