In this article, I found the reasoning to say that Confucianism is better to be rubbish. I worked in Korea for 3 years, and I am now working in Taiwan. Confucianism is common in both countries, but Koreans are too bullish on Confucianism. I have traveled to Thailand 6 times already. Thailand is 95% Buddhist. Frankly I would chose Buddhism over Confucianism because Buddhism has a lot more in common with my Christian beliefs than Confucianism. For instance, Buddhism does not justify favoritism in the family unlike Confucianism. Furthermore, in my experience I find that most Northeast Asian people who follow Confucianism are less happy, and more stuck up. Buddhists on the other hand, (especially in Thailand) are more happier and are much more nicer people. (Nicer than most Christians I met in my life).

i like your post cuz you give some good information about both religions. Something i don’t understand is your reason as to why confucianism is better that buddhism. Are saying that confucianism is better because one can get reach while being a follower and you cannot if you are a buddhist? That just seems like lame reasoning and not a good reason AT ALL as to why confucinism is better than buddhism. ????’

aaaaaah………… confucianism did not agree with profiteering… so in a confucian society you couldnt spend more time making money and about making sacrifices… a part of filial piety deals with making paying respects to the ancestors… which is quite ‘ritualistic’….. so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yeah.

isn’t that a little cold? People are freaking out over an article? To me there are more important things to in life than fighting over which religion is better than the other? Don’t mean to hate but I think it’s the truth. ^______________^

buddhism is not a religion. there are no gods in it only the belief of being a good person and having respect for all living things. it is not a religion.

Whoever wrote this is retarted and didn’t even bother to check their fact. Buddhism started as a philosophy and branched out into different ideas some of which made it into a religion. The fact that you are calling one better than the other shows how uneducated you are. You are clearly unqualified and should be researching this information instead of writing about it.

The fact that the article claims Confucianism is better than Buddhism shows that the writer has yet to better understand the philosophy and teachings of Buddha. In particular with regard to material wealth and focus on making money and all that in the last paragraph, it goes to show that either the writer’s interpretation just scratches the surface or s/he may have attempted to portray Confucianism as being superficial.

The five relationships are in fact part of the Buddhism “right living.”

Contrary to this assertion, Buddhism is essentially the natural law which is very true and TIMELESS.The Fact that Buddhism is widely practiced in China and most of Asia and increasingly elsewhere speaks for itself whether or not which is better.
