<![CDATA[This article aims to explore Chinese philosophy, particularly that developed by three main schools of thought. These three schools are often referred to as The Great Tradition or Popular Religion by Orientalists. In Indonesia, The Great Tradition is known as Sam Kaw or Tri Dharma, which consists of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. This tradition of thought has its historical roots in the efforts of Tung Chung Shu during the Han dynasty, who succeeded in unifying various aspects of philosophy and culture that developed in China. Conceptually, Confucianism emphasizes human ethics that focus on human social and moral relationships, Taoism emphasizes ethics in harmony with natural law, while Buddhism emphasizes the achievement of perfect happiness through the path of Bodhisattva. This study uses an abstraction analysis method with an interpretive-comparative approach that begins with a conceptual description. The results show that the ethical values contained in the Tri Dharma have a major contribution to the development of global ethics. This contribution is not only relevant to the fields of science and philosophy, but can also be used as a reference for consideration in formulating ethical strategies to face future generations.]]>
