What is the difference between Taoism and Buddhism? What is the Buddhist method?

Differences between Buddhism and Taoism 2007-04-06 10:24 Differences between Buddhism and Taoism (1). Generally speaking, the problem to be solved by religion is a person's ultimate spiritual concern, which is actually how to treat life and death. For people, death is the greatest fear, and religion should give ways to deal with it. The main difference between Buddhism and Taoism is the attitude towards life and death. It can be said that the two are completely different. The goal pursued by Buddhism is to break away from the "nirvana" of life and death. Buddhism believes that life is bitter. Life is bitter, and death is bitter. And this kind of suffering is endless, in an endless cycle of life and death. Only by reaching nirvana can we escape from the cycle of life and death. So how to achieve nirvana? That is, people should "realize". Buddha, sleep also. In the final analysis, it is an understanding of the bitterness of life. Buddhism believes that when you really realize that life is bitter, you "wake up". This is the core idea of Buddhism. Taoism generally holds a positive attitude towards life. This is the biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism and even other religions. For example, Christianity believes that people are born with original sin and are born with atonement. Buddhism believes that life is bitter. So, how does Taoism solve the problem of death? The answer is simple, that is, to achieve immortality through cultivation. There is a saying in the secret of Taoist practice, "Being a man and becoming an immortal are all inverted yin and yang", which is how Taoism achieves immortality. This sentence originated from China's Five Elements Theory, which is the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. (2) The biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism is that "Taoism says this life and Buddhism says the afterlife". Let's talk about Rebecca first. This is a typical example of "importing into China". What was originally a Buddhist thing was finally turned into a product of the integration of Buddhism and Taoism by China people. The Buddha said the afterlife and advised the world to be patient. The so-called sin in this life, the report in the afterlife, is miserable in this life, and it may not be bitter in the next life. Simply put, its purpose is to pin hopes on the afterlife; Taoism is completely different. The so-called first step of successful cultivation is to live forever. Taoism pays attention to this life, while Taoism believes in immortality. The afterlife is about the afterlife. I won't die in my life anyway. And still need abstinence, only the Buddha in my heart, sitting after death, leaving the relic, the lotus throne reborn; Taoist priests are not so strict, more practical, have the belief of helping others, pay attention to cultivation, and finally stand out and soar. (3) Taoism, a native of Han nationality in China, is a very complex cultural complex, which has exerted great influence on the development of history, culture and medicine in China. Buddhism, as a foreign religion, took root in China on the basis of absorbing the cultural customs of the Chinese nation, which had a great influence on the cultural development of China. The two religions are compatible, but the difference is basic. The basic difference is that Taoism advocates taking life as truth, pursuing longevity and health preservation, and becoming immortal through the body. Taoism believes that human life is made up of vitality, and the body is the residence of the spirit. To live forever, we must cultivate both form and spirit, that is, "internal cultivation" and "external cultivation" Contrary to Taoism, Buddhism advocates "no life" and thinks that reality is the suffering of all things. People can't do anything about reality, they can only endure it. To endure, we must give up all kinds of desires, pin our hopes on the afterlife, pursue the "sea of suffering" beyond the cycle of life and death, and enter the nirvana-like wood (the world of bliss without suffering). It can be seen that Taoism advocates pursuing real life, while Buddhism advocates abandoning the pursuit of realistic material and paying attention to spiritual cultivation and yearning for the afterlife.
