In Henan Province's Shaolin Temple, a stone tablet represents the concept of the "Three Teachings Harmonious as One."[citation needed] The tablet is an optical illusion.[citation needed] Looked at in one way, it appears to be a single, fat monk holding a scroll; looked at in another way, it is clearly an illustration of three monks bent over the same scroll.[citation needed] The man on the left is Laozi, the founder of Taoism. The man in the middle is Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, and the man on the right is Kongzi (Confucius), the founder of Confucianism. If you look closely, the three men have only one nose—this represents the ultimate harmony of their respective faiths.[citation needed]
