This article will to deal with Vietnamese Confucian scholar Lê Quý Đôn's thought of sympathy in order to give a picture of the concerned integration of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. According to Lê, the presentation of sympathy can be divided into four different forms, namely "the homogeneous activity of sympathy" between presentations of same li and of same qi, and "the heterogeneous activity of sympathy" between liqi and between different qi. The first homogeneous form of sympathy is a communication of Dao and heart/mind. The second homogeneous form, to which Lê pay the most attention, contains not only the mutual sympathy between cosmic qi and human qi, but also the punishment and retribution of human world from Gods and Buddha, even that the skeleton of ancestors can put descendants under their protection. The third activity, which is seen as heterogeneous, contains the sympathy between heart/mind and ghost/ god, and between spirit and body. The fourth heterogeneous form means the mutual promotion and restraint between Ying and Yang or among the five elements. Lê amends Zhu Xi's metaphysics about relationship of li-qi and views qi as the guiding and dominant role of our cosmos.
