Fortune telling and shaving _ shaving to see the sky

If we look carefully, we can see that monks are generally bald, while Taoist priests are all images with long hair fluttering. Some people wonder why they are all monks but their images are so different. Because monks shave their heads, it is generally called tonsure. When they cut off their hair, it means that they have nothing to do with the troubles of the world. Shaving one's head is to get rid of all troubles and concentrate on practicing. So shaving your head means cutting off these indifferent concerns, and Taoism and Buddhism are different.

In the eyes of ancient people, the hair on their bodies was given by their parents, so it can be said that ancient people had long hair at that time. Cutting a braid is like killing his head, so it is very painful. Therefore, at that time, the ancient people all wore hair, and the hair of the Han people was shaved off after the Qing army entered the customs, while the Taoist priests definitely wanted to change from human beings to immortals, so filial piety was also a standard of their practice, so it was different from Buddhists. Buddhists seek to cut off worldly things that have nothing to do with the world, while Taoism can be said to cultivate all its own things, thus reaching a very good state, cultivating all its own things and reaching a state of looking at me.

These two can be said to be different, and we should all be in awe, because it is not easy for people like this to get the truth. They need to overcome many difficulties and endure loneliness to pursue the truth in their hearts. It can be said that they are very powerful people.

I think it's all the same whether they shave their heads or not, but it all represents their determination, because there are few people with long hair and baldness in this society, so whether they renew their hair or shave their heads symbolizes their own determination and an obsession with practice.
