Abstract

This is a Confucian value for self-expectations of the people, in the face of Christianity with Confucian differences, self-made questions and review. Health, religious dialogue, should "look at each other beliefs and intentions behind the reasonable care" began, and then ask themselves: based on a reasonable concern on this belief in our value system coherence can be recognized? In this sense, this can be regarded as such a "religious concept of dialogue," a practice. Since Confucius that "I want to Jen, Si Ren Zhi Yi" since Confucianism that uphold a confident tone: I have completed the self-sufficient power, not in the arms. In contrast, Christianity stressed the key to a successful life in God's grace, that God should humble the enemy. From the Confucian point of view, this should first ask: Christianity emphasizes humility, behind any concern? Secondly, if it is justified each other's concerns, then, can the Confucian doctrine in favor of humility? Humility and self-confidence and ability to compatible? If so, then "self-confidence and humility compatible" Can the Confucian doctrine to respond to each other's concerns and alert? These problems are revealed, a new understanding of their intentions. Through this self-reflection, understand and appreciate their own Confucian and more each other's teachings. This hope, with emulate the gas, we can explore a reasonable way of religious coexistence. This article is addressing how someone who aspires to follow the Confucian values ​​should question and examine himself in face of the distinctions between Christianity and Confucianism. Our discussion begins with the most fundamental idea of ​​Confucian philosophy, that is, "As long as I sincerely practice benevolence, it will be near ". This very saying of Confucius's determines the general direction of Confucian philosophy and sets the keynote of the whole philosophy of Confucianism: everyone is the ultimate undertaker and guarantee of the perfection of one's life, because the power to perfect one's life is within oneself, rather than something one has to reach out for; accordingly, to be either a saint or an ordinary person is up to oneself. Confucius's saying reveals a particular attitude toward life, which we may as well call "self- confidence, "that is," the faith in one's sufficient power to achieve self-realization. "On the other hand, the Christian faith may also contain a certain extent of" self-confidence "in regard to" self-realization, "but the Christian concept of "self-confidence" is obviously distinguished from its counterpart in Confucianism. The key is that Christianity is a religion of God, who plays an important role in human beings' self-realization. In the face of God, one should be humble. Consequently, we will discuss a few questions here: First, what is the concern behind the Christian advocacy of humbleness? Second, does Confucianism approve the Christian concept of humbleness? Third, can "self-confidence" and "humbleness" co -exist in the Confucian framework?
