雍正皇帝上諭Edict-Emperor YongZheng

清朝雍正皇帝提出儒、釋、道「三教合一」，那個時候儒、釋、道三家彼此互相批評，互相毀謗，雍正皇帝認為三教在形式上雖然有不同，但是在實質上是相同的，無非是教人為善，這是相同的。雍正皇帝提倡三教一家，就是多元文化。是了不起的做法，此一世界宗教是一家的理念可以做為我們的借鏡。此外，社會治亂及國家興衰的關鍵皆在教育，《學記》裡所說的「建國君民，教學為先」。我們應該團結全世界宗教，倡導全世界的神聖教育，辦好家庭與學校教育，讓人民能夠明辨並遠離一切惡，用心修學一切善，天下自然太平，世界亦大同。

All the Three Teachings (Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism) have the capacity to help people be enlightened in China because all Three Teachings derive from the same original source. Their teachings run parallel to each other, thus they do not conflict each other. They all have the same purpose in mind teaching and encouraging people to be good. If all my people can adhere to the teaching of Confucianism and Buddhism and become honest, down-to-earth, and good-natured, the world will be at peace.
