Is fortune telling Buddhism or Taoism?

It is certainly false to worship Buddha statues but call them immortals, gods, ghosts or things that can be "seen".

There are no gods, immortals and demons in Buddhism, only Buddhas (people who realize the truth). We should respect and cherish those who can be called Buddhas, because few people in the world can really understand the true meaning of life.

Those who worship Buddha but play tricks on Wong Tai Sin (the fairy of red pine) are disrespecting Buddha and playing tricks on immortals.

There are many Taoist techniques, which can be divided into five categories. The five techniques of Taoism can be explained as follows:

First of all, this mountain

The so-called "mountain" is a kind of knowledge to cultivate "body" and "spirit" by feeding bait, building foundation, metaphysics, boxing and spells, so as to fill the body and mind.

Bait-is a method of using tonic, wine and daily diet to enhance physical strength and treat diseases. Footnote-is a method to control the essence, qi and spirit by meditation, and then enhance physical strength. Xuan Dian is a method of cultivating the mind and nourishing the nature based on Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's thoughts. Boxing-is a way to keep fit by practicing various martial arts. Spell-a kind of psychic self-cultivation spell, whose main function is to ward off evil spirits, suppress evil spirits, and seek good fortune to avoid evil.

In a word, "mountain" is a kind of knowledge to cultivate perfect personality by meditation, cultivation, martial arts, diet and other methods.

Second, doctor.

The so-called "medicine" is a method of using prescriptions, acupuncture and other methods to preserve health and treat diseases.

Prescription-a prescription for treating diseases and practicing by making various drugs into powders and pills. Acupuncture-Acupuncture and moxibustion, collectively referred to as acupuncture, is a folk prescription to treat diseases by stimulating the affected parts according to the principle of human meridian and qi and blood circulation. Psychotherapy-a good way to treat human diseases by mastering people's mind (psychological state). Now it is called "psychotherapy".

In short, "medicine" is a method to treat human diseases through prescription, acupuncture, psychotherapy and other means.

Third, life

The so-called "fate" is a kind of knowledge to understand life, reach the laws of nature and improve human life by reasoning about fate. The main works used to push fate are Wei Zi Dou Shu, Zi Ping Push Fate, and Xing Ping Hui Hai. Its way is based on the time of birth and the five elements of yin and yang.

In short, "fate" is to infer people's fate, and then to achieve the knowledge of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, thus improving the needs of human development.

Fourth, the stage

The so-called "physiognomy" generally includes five kinds: "impression, name, person, family, grave (feng shui)" to observe the physiognomy existing in the phenomenon world.

Seal-it is to look at the seal of others to decide fate. Printed in China, it used to be a certificate of power. Fame and fortune-it is a method to infer the development of good or bad luck through five paragraphs, combined with numerology, employing names or store names. Human physiognomy can be divided into two categories: physiognomy and palmistry. By observing the lines and colors of the face and hands, we found a way to know the good and bad luck and pathology of people. Home image-that is, the geomantic omen of Yangzhai-is a magical method to observe its pattern and analyze and infer the good or bad luck of human habitation. Tomography (geomantic omen)-that is, a ghost house-is a magical way to bury ancestors by choosing a place to hide their descendants.

In short, "phase" is a way to observe the objects seen by the eyes in order to achieve the purpose of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Verb (short for verb) prediction

The so-called "divination" includes divination, auspicious choice and divination, and its purpose is to predict and deal with things. Among them, the types of divination can be divided into "easy to break" and "six-person divination class"

Divination-the so-called divination is based on the Book of Changes, combined with the mutual constraints of heaven, man and earth, to infer good or bad luck. Lucky Day-The main works, represented by Taoist magic, deal with unlucky factors through the combination of layout, fighting and magic, which are mainly used in ancient military affairs. Bureau measurement-the main work, represented by the number of gods, is a mathematical method to calculate the country's political destiny, fortune and historical change law through the twelve divinatory symbols.
