儒学与巴哈伊信仰比较研究

山东大学巴哈伊研究所蔡德贵教授比较了儒学与巴哈伊信仰的和谐社会思想。儒学以“为万世开太平”为使命，天人合一追求天人和谐，三纲六纪追求人际和谐，修身养性追求身心和谐。而在东方传统宗教基础上产生的巴哈伊教，也以“人类一家，宗教和合，文化包融”为使命。对人性美善的自信是其理想构架的基点，是孔孟和巴哈伊构思大同理想的基本点。此种社会整体必然是建立在德化的理想个体的基础上，因而对理想人格的设定是两种社会思想构成的基础。具有强烈社会责任感的孔孟及其门人和巴哈伊信徒，在实践中将其德行思想外化，形成的就是一个德治社会，这种社会的最理想状态就是天下大同，并且两者对此天下大同社会之达成与体制的构思框架有诸多共通之处。这两种不同的文化有着共同的和谐社会追求，在当今建设和谐社会、和谐地区以及和谐世界的形式下，挖掘这些文化资源有利于和谐世界的实现。

Professor Cai Degui from the Baha'i Institute of Shandong University compared Confucianism and Bahá'í beliefs about the idea of ​​a harmonious society. Confucianism takes the mission of "opening peace for all ages", and pursues harmony between man and nature by the unity of nature and man, pursues harmony between people through the three principles and six disciplines, and pursues harmony between body and mind by self-cultivation. The Baha'i religion, which was born on the basis of traditional Eastern religions, also has the mission of "human family, religious harmony, and cultural inclusion". Confidence in the goodness of human nature is the basis of its ideal framework, and it is the basis for Confucius, Mencius and Baha'is to conceive the ideal of Datong. This kind of social whole must be based on the ideal individual of moralization, so the setting of ideal personality is the foundation of the two kinds of social thoughts. Confucius and Mencius, their disciples and Bahá'í believers, who have a strong sense of social responsibility, externalize their moral thoughts in practice, and form a society governed by virtue. The realization of the Great Harmony Society under Heaven has many things in common with the conceptual framework of the system. These two different cultures share the common pursuit of a harmonious society. Under the current form of building a harmonious society, a harmonious region and a harmonious world, mining these cultural resources is conducive to the realization of a harmonious world.
