    Abstract:

    Wang Yangmings philosophy of mind cannot be simply defined as pure Confucianism or doctrine of Zen Buddhism,because it is a separate system which absorbed different theories to have its own characteristics,revealing the great wisdom beyond time and space.Wang Yangmings differentiation of Confucianism and Buddhism is a judgment and summary of both Confucianism and Buddhism.He argued that Confucianism had an utilitarian tendency and Buddhism was lack of ethical and political responsibility.Therefore,Wang Yangmings study of conscience is mainly Confucianism with having(you),adapting the emptiness of Buddhism and the void of Laozis immortal theory.All of the holy learning is the real orthodoxy of Wang Yangmings philosophy of mind,which reflects the true spirit of his mind doctrine.
