What is the difference between Taoism and Buddhism? Why always destroy the Buddha, not the Tao?

The essential difference between Taoism and Buddhism is: "Taoism says this life and Buddhism says the afterlife."

1, the "three conversions" of Buddhism are sex, mind and body. Nature is a conversion to existence, rationality is a conversion method, and rationality is a conversion to monks.

2. The "three China" of Taoism is sex, mind and body. Sex is full of reason, the mind is full of reason and the body is full of reason. Taoism begins with fitness, and Buddhism begins with cultivation.

3. Buddhism strives for detachment by joining the WTO, while Taoism enters the WTO with the heart of being born. Buddhism is like all kinds of laws, and Taoism is like learning from the scriptures.

The goal pursued by Buddhism is to get rid of the "nirvana" of the cycle of life and death. Buddhism believes that life is bitter. Life is bitter, and death is bitter.

5, and this kind of suffering is endless, it is in a cycle of life and death.

6. The basic difference is that Taoism advocates taking life as the truth and pursuing longevity as an immortal.

7. Taoism believes that human life is composed of vitality, and the body is the spiritual home. If you want to live forever, you must cultivate both form and spirit, that is, you must have time for' internal cultivation' and' external cultivation'.

8. Contrary to Taoism, Buddhism advocates "no life" and thinks that reality is the suffering of all things.

9. People can't do anything about reality. We must give up all kinds of desires and pin our hopes on the afterlife.

1. Buddhism has a history of more than 2,500 years, which was founded by Gautama Siddharta, the prince of Kapilovi Kingdom in ancient India (now Nepal) (refer to Buddha's birthday). Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India is actually trying to shape the image of a "Buddhist holy land".

This has caused many people to have the illusion that the Buddha was born in India, which has always made the Nepalese people dissatisfied. Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world. Buddha means "awakening". Buddha is also known as Tathagata, repentance, enlightenment, clear behavior, good death, worldly solution, supreme teacher, mediator, teacher of heaven and man, and Buddha. Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality. The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to discover the truth of life and the universe according to Siddhartha's practice method, and finally transcend life and death and suffering, cut off all troubles and get relief.

2. Taoism is a native religion in China, with "Tao" as its highest belief. Taoism, the concept of China's ancient worship of ghosts and gods, is based on the thoughts of Huang and Lao Taoism, and has inherited the immortal magic since the Warring States Period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Taoist organizations appeared, including Taiping Dao and Wudoumi Dao.

Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Shi Tian, officially founded the Youth League, with a history of 1800 years. Taoism is a polytheistic worship, and worshipping immortals personifies Taoism's belief in "Tao". Taoist priests are Taoist priests, and there are more than 30,000 Taoist priests in China. Temples are places for Taoist activities, and there are more than 2,000 registered temples in China.

The difference between Buddhism and Taoism

(1) Attitude towards life and death.

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. 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".

The Buddha said the afterlife and advised the world to be patient. The so-called sin in this life, the retribution in the afterlife, is very 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) The basic difference is that Taoism advocates taking life as the 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.

Buddhism, with compassion, abandons the doctrine of evil Yangshan, and the law of causal reincarnation is admirable, which is also the vitality of Buddhism. Compared with Islam and Christianity, Buddhism is less barbaric and xenophobic, and more exotic. Buddhism is more like a delicate lotus flower.

(4) The origin of life should come from the Book of Changes and the Book of Confusion. In Hinayana Buddhism, the quartering method stipulates that Buddhist disciples can't tell fortune, divination, geomantic omen, etc. whether they are at home or becoming monks. Mahayana Buddhism and the Buddha in the amulet of the Sanskrit Bodhisattva also stipulate that these things cannot be done. This is called evil karma. However, Buddhism in China has the characteristics of China. People in China sent letters of life, and the Book of Changes originally came from divination, so Confucius said, "I don't know my life, I don't think it's a gentleman." . The culture of China for thousands of years is actually the Zhouyi culture, because the Book of Changes is the head of the four books and five classics.

The biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism is that "Taoism says this life and Buddhism says the afterlife".
