The Urantia Book Part IV. The Life And Teachings Of Jesus PAPER 131: Section 9. Confucianism Even the least God-recognizing of the world's great religions acknowledged the monotheism of the Melchizedek missionaries and their persistent successors. Ganid's summary of Confucianism was: "God is with us; therefore we have no fear in our hearts. If there be found any virtue in me, it is the manifestation of Heaven who abides with me. But this Heaven within me often makes hard demands on my faith. If God is with me, I have determined to have no doubt in my heart. Faith must be very near the truth of things, and I do not see how a man can live without this good faith. Good and evil do not befall men without cause. Heaven deals with man's soul in accordance with its purpose. When you find yourself in the wrong, do not hesitate to confess your error and be quick to make amends. "A wise man is occupied with the search for truth, not in seeking for a mere living. To attain the perfection of Heaven is the goal of man. The superior man is given to self-adjustment, and he is free from anxiety and fear. God is with you; have no doubt in your heart. Every good deed has its recompense. The superior man murmurs not against Heaven nor holds a grudge against men. What you do not like when done to yourself, do not to others. Let compassion be a part of all punishment; in every way endeavor to make punishment a blessing. Such is the way of Great Heaven. While all creatures must die and return to the earth, the spirit of the noble man goes forth to be displayed on high and to ascend to the glorious light of final brightness."

Print this page Confucianism, a religion of optimistic humanism, has had a monumental impact upon the life, social structure and political philosophy of China. The founding of the religion goes back to one man, known as Confucius, born a half-millennium before Christ. History The Life of Confucius Although Confucius occupies a hallowed place in Chinese tradition, little is verifiable about his life. The best source available is The Analects, the collection of his sayings made by his followers. Long after his death much biographical detail on his life surfaced, but most of this material is of questionable historical value. However, there are some basic facts that can be accepted reasonably to give an outline of his life. Confucius was born Chiu King, the youngest of 11 children, about 550 B.C., in the principality of Lu, which is located in present-day Shantung. He was a contemporary of the Buddha (although they probably never met) and lived immediately before Socrates and Plato. Nothing is known for certain concerning his ancestors except the fact that his surroundings were humble. As he himself revealed: "When I was young I was without rank and in humble circumstances." His father died soon after his birth, leaving his upbringing to his mother. During his youth Confucius participated in a variety of activities, including hunting and fishing; but, "On reaching the age of 15, 1 bent my mind to learning."

Confucianism History K'ung Fu Tzu (commonly pronounced Confucius in English) was born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu (modern day Shantung Province). He lived during the Chou dynasty, and era known for its moral laxity. Later in life, he wandered through many states of China, giving advice to their rulers. He accumulated a small band of students during this time. The last years of his life were spent back in Lu, where he devoted himself to teaching. His writings deal primarily with individual morality and ethics, and the proper exercise of political power by the rulers. In China, and some other areas in Asia, the social ethics and moral teachings of Confucius are blended with the Taoist communion with nature and Buddhist concepts of the afterlife, to form a set of complementary, peacefully co-existent and ecumenical religions. There are approximately 6 million Confucians in the world. About 26,000 live in North America; almost all of the remainder are found throughout China and the rest of Asia.

Families of Religions Confucianism No deity One Deity Multiple Deities No Deity Combinations Confucianism,one of the three major religion traditions in China, is based on the teachings of K'ung-fu-tzu (552-479 bce), known in the west as Confucius. This secular "religion" focuses on the conduct and practices of people in daily life - the creation of a society based on virtue. Primary relationships are between parents and children, especially fathers and sons. Cardinal virtues include Benevolence, Duty, Manners, Wisdom, and Faithfulness. Centered in China, the coexisting ideas and practices of Confucianism and Taoism influence Asia and to a lesser degree, other world cultures.

Home Agriculture Art Business ... Your sweet smiling partner People Confucianism Confucianism formed the basis for the social order in China since 200 BC. It provided the working rules and ethical precepts for Chinese to follow. Even today majority of Chinese still behave according to these rules. Confucianism views individual as a social creature obligated to each other through relationships. These may include the relations between sovereign and subject, parent and child, elder and younger, husband and wife, or even friend and friend. Confucianism defined the rules in the engagement, action, and responsibilities in all these human relationships and interactions. Proper conduct proceeds not through compulsion, but through a sense of virtue and self-consciousness achieved by learning, observing and practicing. Confucianism has a lot of similarities with socialism today. Both promote collective interests and community welfare. Both emphasize the educational or remolding process in serving the common good of the society. These concepts may be quite different from the West that every individual is a completely independent entity. Individual freedom is well above the social order and welfare. Confucius is one of the greatest educators. He insisted that in education there should be no class distinctions. He established an education system for training in administrative and diplomatic arts. The system was later adapted as a central government examination system in selecting senior officers. For years, all students and scholars alike worked very hard for the annual examination in the hope that they might become senior officers in the government.

Yet it has exerted enough influence to become part of a Japanese religion. According to the early Japanese writings, Confucianism was introduced through Korea in the 285AD. Neo-Confucianism was the most important philosophy of Tokugawa Japan in government and education. Its influence on the Japanese society had been intensive, and is still very prominent today.

What is Confucianism? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Confucianism is a set of ethical beliefs, sometimes called a religion, that were developed from the teachings of the scholar Confucius , who lived in the 6th century BCE in China. His theories and philosophy gave rise to laws based on his teachings first in China, and then later in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. All who studied and practiced Confucianism aimed at harmonious relationships that would result in greater peace in their countries. Elements of Confucianism, though it is no longer widely practiced, persist in many Asian cultures. Like many of the great philosophers and religious leaders, Confucius did not keep records of his own words and deeds. Instead, the texts that make up Confucianism are recordings from his students, and their students. This is a bit complicated because many texts recording Confucian thought were burned during the Qin Dynasty. Dissenters of Confucianism were authorized to burn all materials in reference to it. Thus the records of Confucian thought are fragmented and sometimes contradict themselves or require explanation that is not given. Nevertheless, during the Han Dynasty, which lasted until about 220 CE, Confucian thought was the inspiration for establishing the rules and laws of China. After the Han fell, Confucian thought was widely discarded in favor of

Kyongju, South Korea Religion: Confucianism Photograph by H. Edward Kim Tea is poured during a Confucian ceremony in front of ancestral tombs in Kyongju, South Korea. During his life the Chinese philosopher K'ung Fu-tzu (551-479 B.C.), or Confucius, developed a code of living that valued goodwill, duty, manners, wisdom, and trustworthiness Confucius believed that these are things that humans can control. Destiny controls much else. Confucius also believed that the success of a society depended on the moral quality of its leaders. Good government, he taught, depended on educated, courteous, and virtuous officials. Although the philosopher died in 479 B.C., his teachings, compiled in a book called The Analects, were increasingly influential in the centuries after his death. The philosopher's followers formed a school of Confucianism that espoused his ideal of honest and morally responsible leadership. Confucianism took hold under the rulers of China's Han dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D. 23). The expansion of the Han empire allowed Confucianism to spread into Southeast Asia. The Confucian ethical system of social relations still underlies the modern state in China, Korea, Singapore, and elsewhere.

Bell writes The Confucian view is that political leaders should be the most talented and public-spirited members of the community, and the process of choosing such leaders should be meritocratic, meaning that there should be equal opportunity for the best to rise to the top. Historically, Confucian meritocracy was implemented by means of examinations, and there have been proposals to revive and update Confucian examinations for contemporary China. My co-blogger believes that voters are irrational. Does he think that Confucianism is the answer? What are the pros and cons of exam-based meritocracy?

Confucianism Religion or Khonghucu March 8th, 2006, in News , by Patung The edict of 24 February 2006 which requires local and provincial administrations to give official recognition to the existence of Confucianism in Indonesia, or Khonghucu as it is called locally, appears likely to actually be enforced. that there were some provinces and regencies which were still not ready to provide services to Confucianists, services such as the issuing of marriage licences and residence documents with the correct religious affiliation of the person/s. He added that the government would punish local administrations that failed to implement the law especially since the regions had already been given the necessary computer/technical instruction in how to bring the changes about. History. Confucianism was outlawed in Indonesia in 1965 in the wake of the failed communist coup attempt, communism being associated with China, and hence the local Chinese population. All public displays of Chinese culture were also banned. The specific restrictions against Confucianism were repealed during the presidency of Gus Dur but the law making Confucianism an official religion was promulgated only this year. Confucianism joins Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism and Hinduism as one of the formally recognised faiths of Indonesia.

THEOSOPHY, Vol. 14, No. 9, July, 1926 (Pages 395-399; Size: 16K) (Number 9 of a 59-part series) ANCIENT LANDMARKS IX C ONFUCIANISM CONFUCIANISM is an inner attitude, a method, copied from great nature, whereby man should contact and control his outer environment. There is a moral order of the universe "how active it is everywhere! Invisible to the eyes and impalpable to the senses, it is inherent in all things, and nothing can escape its operation." Therefore it abides in man also. He cannot escape it for one instant; "a law from which we may escape is not the moral law." The moral order of the macrocosm has to be enquired into; with veneration it should be studied; man must find out how he is the exact copy of that macrocosm and how the same moral order governs both. Ethics more than metaphysics, moral worth more than intellectual acquisition, are the means recommended. The life of the moral man is an exemplification of the universal moral order.... The life of the vulgar person is a contradiction of that order.... To find the central clue to our moral being which unites us to the universal order, that indeed is the highest human attainment.... The wise mistake moral law for something higher than what it really is; and the foolish do not know enough what moral law really is.... The noble natures want to live too high, high above their moral ordinary self; and the ignoble do not live up to their moral ordinary self. There is no one who does not eat and drink. But few there are who really know the taste of what they eat and drink.

Confucius and his Time Back to Top Confucianism: A Philosophy, Not a Religion Although Confucianism is often described as a religion, it is not in the formal sense. Confucius did not write about the gods except to indicate that he accepted the religious beliefs of his day. Neither he nor his followers challenged the existing beliefs in a pantheon of gods and the spirit world which included the spirits of one's prominent ancestors. The cult of worshipping one's ancestors pre-dates Confucianism. This custom had been formalized under the Zhou dynasty. Princely families had the right to worship their ancestors from the founder of their family line to the present. Secondary families in theory were only supposed to be allowed to worship their last 4 generations of ancestors. The head of the family acted as the high priest of the cult and had the responsibility to see that the ancestors were properly worshipped. Powerful ancestors, like any other spirit, had to be placated because they could still have an impact on the natural world.
