The meaning of this sentence is: to enrich one's heart with Buddhism, to guide one's behavior with Taoism, and to show a generous view of the world like Confucianism.

nan huaijin spent his whole life deducing and summarizing the knowledge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, with the ultimate goal of telling people that there are saints in the East and saints in the West, which is the same reason. There is no marginal problem from "ordinary" to "noble". The so-called "further progress" still needs to be returned to the flat ground, and it can't be hung in the air.

"Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bone, Confucianism is the table, and we look at the world generously" is what the famous master of Chinese studies nan huaijin said, and Mr. nan huaijin took this as his motto all his life.

Extended information:

nan huaijin talked about The Analects of Confucius, which is no longer called in ancient times: "There are some points in the Analects annotated by Zhu Xi that are debatable. For example, Confucius commented that Zaiyu was a stupid and bad student. But Confucius is seventy-two sages, and Zaiyu is the first in the field of speech.

nan huaijin has been trying to restore Confucius' status as a thinker and let the world see that Confucianism is positive. It is believed that those things that emphasize the general ethics are gradually attached by later generations of Confucian scholars in order to adapt to the development of state rule. As a result, Confucius' thoughts were misinterpreted and misread gradually in the development, and Confucius became an idol that was casually smeared.

Therefore, in the following year, nan huaijin has been talking about The Analects of Confucius, and fully considered the feelings of ordinary people who have never been in deep contact with The Analects of Confucius. He explained it in easy-to-understand language, and compiled the original text into a historical story with profound and interesting meanings, which triggered Taiwan Province's enthusiasm for reading The Analects of Confucius for a time, and many people even published its explanation.
