Summary:	"This book is about the history of interaction among Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China and Korea, and the ways in which each respective religion and/or philosopher merged the others together. Through it, author was able to learn that genuine thinkers are able to combine the three religious doctrines together according to their independent views and unconventional patterns of thought. In addition to a comprehensive overview of Chinese religious history, for greater depth of research author focused on the teachings of Gang Jeungsan, a great spiritual master of modern Korea. For the same reason that Gang Jeungsan is acknowledged as one of the great syncretists of Korean religious history, his views are often criticized as being an amorphous hodgepodge of various philosophies. However, author realized once again through this book that not only does Gang's philosophy have a focal point, but also that other religions are currently being re-interpreted and re-categorized according to Gang's theories"---publishers website.
