This study explores Asian ways of understanding the Christian doctrine of the Trinity presented by Jung Young Lee and Raymond Panikkar, who establish their respective trinitarian perspectives by means of Asian frameworks of nondualsim, i.e., the East Asian "yin-yang" conceptuality and the Hindu Vedantic notion of "advaita." In their respective trinitarian perspectives Lee and Panikkar attempt to reveal that the Trinity is not only a doctrine about God but also an underlying structure of all reality. This study compares the trinitarian accounts of Lee and Panikkar in their similarities and differences by employing three comparative categories: 'the apophatic dimension of God', 'the intrinsic relationality between God and the world', and 'the kenotic trinitarian dynamism'.
