Oriental Teachings: Five Commandments





Oriental Teachings: Five Commandments
(Oriental enseignements: cinq commandements)



In Confucianism and Buddhism, there are the same teachings as Moses' and Jesus Christ's.

The Five Confucian Virtues and the Five Precepts of Buddhism commonly defined:
1. Humaneness: Do not kill.
2. Righteousness: Do not indulge in wicked lustfulness.
3. Propriety: Do not drink alcohol.
4. Wisdom: Do not steal.
5. Sincerity: Do not lie.

(cf. http://www.sanseido.net/Main/words/Hyakka/meisu/05.aspx )

Almost every teaching found in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is found in teachings of Confucianism and Buddhism, which is part of common sense in Japan but must be astonishment to ordinary Israelites, Christians, and Muslims.


(Now, you do not have to mind being a Japanese or becoming a member of any other communities the culture of which is based on Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.

All you have to do is to wait for the coming of the Messiah.)


"...It is I. Don't be afraid!..."
