There were also Chinese scholars who believed that Buddhism held the answers to things not answered in Confucian writings, these scholars also believed that through Buddha you would find happiness and love.[1] (Doc #3) Zhi Dun a Buddhist Chinese scholar and confidant declared that at the end of one’s life, if they had followed the teaching of Buddhism, they will reach total enlightenment or “Nirvana”.
