The main conflict between Buddhist Retribution concept and traditional Chinese Retribution concept lies in the different ideas of life ideology and moral principles. Buddhist Retribution concept made big concessions and was modified in a Chinese way. It accepted Retribution concept in current life, happiness in life and moral principles that emphasizes filial obedience. While it kept its religious discipline, idea of future life, spiritualism and individualism, it also in some degree accepted the traditional Retributive moral principles, the idea of current life and utilitarianism. The full integration of Buddhist and traditional Chinese Retribution concepts was achieved in folk belief, because folk retribution belief is a superficial pragmatic belief whose main concern is family’s happiness in current and future life without restriction from one’s class and doctrine.
