“…19 "Records of Monk Wu Zhun"(Wú Zhǔn Héshàng Zòu Duì Yǔlù) says "Sages of three religions preach same teachings. Each opens the door for another, each one has the same purpose" 20 . In the Southern Song Dynasty, there also appeared an "Ode to The Three Religions"(Sān Jiào Chū Xìng Sòng) in the name of "Three Religions", which emphasized the indispensability of the three religions by equating the three religions with the three legs of tripod."…”

There is a very remarkable phenomenon in the Chinese ideological history which is known as 'the integration of the three religions'. The three religions refers to Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Since its introduction into China in 2nd century B.C., after a long fusion with local Confucianism and Taoism, Buddhism has finally succeeded in taking its roots in Middle Kingdom. Standing side by side with Confucianism and Taoism, It has become the mainstream of Chinese ideology and culture. During the process of fusion, the three schools of thought of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have jointly formed the three cornerstones of Chinese traditional culture. Based on the fusion of Buddhism, Chinese Confucianism and Taoism, this paper explores the four stages and three dimensions of the integration of the these three religions in China.

“…Materialistic persons are usually considered self-centered. Their desire for more possessions leads to selfishness and is incompatible with sharing and giving to others or concern for nature and the environment [3] . This raises a question of the importance of people's values in determining their attitude to corporate social responsibility (CSR).…”

This paper aimed (a) to examine whether materialism is related to attitude to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and (b) to test whether environmental concern mediates the relationship between materialism (and its dimensions: acquisition centrality, happiness, and success) and attitude to CSR among undergraduate students. This study used a cross-sectional research design. A questionnaire survey was used to obtain the study data. Participants were recruited from students in Chinese universities. Hayes’s PROCESS and SPSS 22 were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that materialism is negatively related to attitude toward CSR among students. Environmental concern does not mediate the relationship between materialism and attitude to CSR. The relationship between centrality and attitude to CSR was statistically significant in the two models. Happiness and attitude to CSR are positively related. The mediating effect of environmental concern on the relationship between centrality and attitude to CSR was statistically significant.

“…Some traditions that value indebtedness as well as gratitude have been partly influenced by East Asian Buddhism and Confucianism. In East Asian Buddhism, the concept of repaying debts of gratitude is considered central to the basis of social relations (Khan et al, 2021). Thus, Buddhism underlined indebtedness together with gratitude, and together with Confucianism, this idea was conveyed to emphasise moral and social values in terms of reciprocity, mutually beneficial exchange, and mutual obligation (Chung, 2015;Wei-ming, 2012).…”

Gratitude and indebtedness are predominant emotional and cognitive responses that occur after receiving benefits from others. There is ambiguity as to whether these two emotions are distinct in interdependence‐oriented cultures. To investigate whether gratitude and indebtedness are distinct emotions in South Korea, we examined the relationship between gratitude and indebtedness and the associations between these emotions and personality traits. Further, we examined the relationships of gratitude and indebtedness with life satisfaction. The sample of 294 college students aged 18 to 27 years participated in the study. Data were collected using self‐report questionnaires. Results showed that there was no systematic relation between gratitude and indebtedness. The two emotions demonstrated contrasting associations with the Big Five personality traits. That is, gratitude was positively linked to agreeableness, extraversion, and openness, but negatively linked to conscientiousness and neuroticism. Conversely, indebtedness was positively linked to conscientiousness and neuroticism. Furthermore, gratitude and indebtedness demonstrated different associations with life satisfaction. Gratitude, but not indebtedness, explained life satisfaction after controlling for personality traits. These findings suggest that gratitude and indebtedness are distinct emotions in South Korea. We discussed gratitude and indebtedness as distinct emotions in an interdependence‐oriented Korean context with previous findings of different cultural contexts.
