The basic concept that they share is to give up one s own interest for the sake of others. Confucianism and Buddhism advocate the enhancement and glorification of filial piety, the respect and devotion of an individual for their parents and teachers. Filial piety is a major element in accomplishing world peace. It is the meaning and the value of human life, the relationships between human beings as well as those between humans and the universe.
Confucian teaching encompasses three main points.
First, it is important to understand the relationship between humans, once this is understood we will learn to love people. Second, it is important to understand the relationship between humans and heaven, once this is understood we will learn to respect heavenly beings and spirits. Third, it is important to understand the relationship between humans and the environment, once this is understood we will learn to take care of the environment and to appreciate every single thing around us. The teaching of virtue is the core of Confucianism, it is absolutely crucial, for without moral behavior we become selfish and concerned only with ourselves at the expense of society. Such behavior can result in world chaos.
