What is the fundamental difference between Buddhism and Taoism?

The most fundamental difference: Taoism doesn't think there is anything wrong with this world. On the contrary, Taoism believes that the world is beautiful, and there are more and better things that you need to practice to get, and they are learned for a long time.

Buddhism thought that the world was bitter from the beginning, telling you that no matter how you enjoy it now, it will not last long and will eventually become bitter, telling believers that your future will also become bitter with the theory of reincarnation.

Taoism is a real local religion, but its theoretical roots are actually China people's ancestor worship, myths and legends and witchcraft, and Taoism has been absorbing other theories.

1. As far as the pursuit of Taoism is concerned, it can be said that it is unique in this world. Taoism does not pursue the afterlife, while Taoism pursues immortality in this world. Immortals exist like this. They have superhuman ability, endless life, the best support and can solve any problem. Taoist concepts such as Tiangong and Thirty-three Days were all formed after absorbing Buddhist concepts. At the beginning, immortals were on earth-that is to say, the pursuit of Taoism was to be immortals on earth.

2. Taoism doesn't think there is anything wrong with this world. On the contrary, Taoism believes that the world is beautiful, and there are more and better things that you need to practice to get, and they are learned for a long time. Although the process of Taoist practice is full of seemingly innate requirements such as indifference and tranquility, its ultimate goal is actually the same as that of secular mortals.

3. Buddhism thought that the world was bitter from the beginning, telling you that no matter how you enjoy it now, it will not last long and will eventually become bitter, and telling believers that your future will also become bitter with the theory of reincarnation-if you don't jump out of reincarnation-everything will be bitter in the end. In Hinayana Buddhism, the ultimate goal of practice is complete silence, and after complete silence comes inaction-so-called nirvana.

4. In the view of happiness, life and world, the difference between Buddhism and Taoism cannot be calculated by Taoism.

Extended data:

The cultivation of primitive Taoism is a simple cultivation view after understanding Tao and ontology-looking at things, life and the world from the perspective of Tao. Therefore, without a strong desire and behavior of doing good deeds and striving for fame and profit, there will be no fame and fortune-six degrees of paramita, bodhisattva, arhat and Buddha.

From the perspective of "noumenon", the compassionate desire and behavior of doing good deeds, accumulating virtue and surviving is also a realm, a practice, a persistence and a reincarnation. If the realm is practice, it is not noumenon, not Tao. When we truly return to the Tao, there must be no realm of doing good, compassion and great love. There is no hope to cross all beings-otherwise it may not be really understood.

It is a pair of contradictions from the Buddha becoming a Buddha in his last life, as Buddhism says, to the Bodhisattva staying alive and pretending to be greedy. Southern Buddhism basically holds this view, but they may deny the existence of "immortal Taoist style", but the view that "a bodhisattva who is merciful and willing to cross all beings is not a saint who bears fruit (does not know the real Taoist style)" is consistent with the Taoist understanding.

After the Taoist sage proved his "noumenon", it was a carefree journey-but it may be this life or the end. Taoist classics still record that some practitioners can "get out and get in". (Appear in the illusory world and return to the infinite Tao)
