Whats that Confucianism/Buddhism quote?

0

I know that there is a section in one of the first few chapters of The Tao of Pooh that describes the three religions of China using a parable of three old men tasting what’s in a cooking pot, and that how the contents of the pot tasted to each man reflected how that religion viewed life in general. I don’t have my copy of the book with me, otherwise I would quote it verbatum.

The Tao of Pooh quote is about “The Vinegar Tasters,” a picture of three people tasting vinegar. To the Confucianist, it tastes sour, to the Buddhist, bitter, and to the Taoist, sweet.
