Teacher Yan Yan, can you talk about the relationship between Buddhism and philosophy?

Religion is a kind of cognition to the outside world, and it has a strong soothing effect through forms (ceremony, doctrine, architecture, painting, praise). Philosophy generally talks about world outlook and method theory.

So the cornerstone of religion is philosophy! Of course, the fortune tellers on the street can say that most of them will not be the religion we are talking about, let alone philosophy. How to interpret the value comparison of the word "Buddhism is higher than philosophy" State comparison? Practical comparison? . . . . . . . . . . . . It is easy to fall into the quagmire of concepts.

Actually, how can I put it? Logic often talks about the extension and connotation of concepts. Our religion and philosophy overlap conceptually (they both contain knowledge of the outside world, and so on). Strictly speaking, you can't say who is taller than who.

Of course, from your context, it may be in terms of "realm", but this realm has different understandings for different people. The ancient Greeks believed that the pursuit of freedom and truth was the noblest, and Buddhism also talked about reincarnation and goodness, as long as you have your own standards! Buddhism is the realm of birth, with the laws and fetters of joining the WTO. Philosophy is the logic of analyzing and understanding the external world and the internal world. I don't think we can completely use secular law and secular law?
