Confucius once praised Sakyamuni as a "Western sage". Is it true?/You don't say.

It is indeed recorded in Taoist records. He said there was a saint in the west. But according to all kinds of inferences, this saint should be Laozi. Speaking of Confucius, we are no strangers, as long as everyone in China has heard of him. Because he created the school education system, thousands of people in China, Qian Qian were baptized with knowledge. In ancient times, children kowtowed to the statue of Confucius when they first received education. Although these rules are not so strict now.

But many of Confucius' remarks still appear in textbooks. Presumably, anyone who has experienced nine-year compulsory education knows one or two of his famous sayings. Moreover, it has an influence not only on people in our country, but also on neighboring East Asian countries and even western countries, because there are many Confucius Institutes all over the world now. There are many stories about him in various official history and folk rumors. There is another story. He said that there is a saint like him in the west.

The story began when a man came to talk to Confucius about saints. The man asked if the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were saints, and Confucius said that I was not sure if they were saints. Then the man asked, are there real saints there? At this time, Confucius said that there were saints, but he was great in the west. And many people want to ask, who is this person? There used to be two main people, one was Sakyamuni and the other was Jesus.

According to the western saying, these two people are the same, but Jesus should be impossible. Because Jesus didn't appear until hundreds of years after Confucius died. Although Sakyamuni and Confucius were contemporary. However, his thoughts were introduced into China only in the Han Dynasty, and Confucius could not know him, so it should not be him. Moreover, in that story, Confucius also said that saints practice inaction. Speaking of which, everyone should know that it is Laozi, because Laozi lives in the west of Confucius. Moreover, he met Lao Tzu and chatted with him, so there are saints in the west.
