"When Buddhists consider the life human beings live between Heaven and earth, they say that there is a cycle of life and death, transmigration and rebirth, and suffering and affliction."
"According to them, those who have attained the Way and achieved enlightenment realize that originally there is no life and death, transmigration and rebirth, or suffering and affliction."
The article discusses the criticisms of Buddhism, particularly the belief that it prioritizes personal salvation over ethical responsibilities, as presented during a debate at an American Philosophical Association meeting. Confucians argue that Buddhism's focus on ending personal suffering may be perceived as selfish, especially as it promotes a type of unconditional compassion which, they claim, undermines vital attachments to family and friends. However, Buddhist practitioners assert that their pursuit of enlightenment ultimately fosters a deeper, more universal compassion that does not neglect important human relationships.
