By 500 BC, Confucius was preaching the “Golden Rule” exactly as we find in the Jewish/Christian tradition. In fact, his wording is almost verbatim to ours.
Not really.
Confucious’s version of the Golden Rule was negative, as in what you should NOT do.
The Judeo-Christian version is positive, as in what you SHOULD do.
It can make for some very large differences in action.
Seems like a minor point to me. Being reciprocal, you should be able to turn the phrase either way. But it looks like the Hindus state it in the positive in the Hitopadesha. Since it looks like they got the heads up first, maybe you should convert.
