Qisong's form of eleventh-century Chan, she argues, is unique in its cohesive or nondual perspective on Chinese Buddhist, Confucian, and other philosophical traditions, which considers all of them to be interdependent and to share a common root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eidentify, examine, and expand on a series of Confucian concepts and virtues that were specifically identified and discussed from a Buddhist perspective by a historical Buddhist writer.
