How many kinds of ghosts are there in Taoism and Buddhism!

The "Hundred Ghosts Walking in the Night" depicts 126 known types of ghosts as defined by Buddhism.

The definition of "ghost" in the two schools is different, at least Taoism never calls the soul "ghost", while Buddhism calls the hungry ghost and some other things that are not divided into the six realms of reincarnation as ghosts (at least there are 36 kinds, which does not include the soul when the lamp is extinguished and the reincarnation is not entered), so if you ask like this, counting unknown species and different states, "ghosts" should be regarded as immeasurable species.

I don't understand Taoism.

According to the teachings of Buddhism If"Segmentation"The types of ghosts should be immeasurable.

If it is omitted, there are 36 kinds of one in the Buddhist scriptures:

The Buddha said:"All sentient beings have different thoughts, different karma, and so are inherent pleasuresAll sentient beings in the sea today, all of them are coarse and vulgar, big and small, all of them are thought of by their own minds, and they have all kinds of bad karma in their bodies, speech, and minds, so they are repaid according to their karma. "

The sea can be understood as the whole universe, the planets of the whole universe are immeasurable, and so on, the types of humans (including aliens) or animals are immeasurable, and the types of ghosts are naturally immeasurable.

According to Buddhism, there must be. According to some senior brothers who can settle down, they can indeed benefit ghost beings. The ghost path is very pitiful.

Most of them often have only one thought, which is to find food, and they are so hungry that they are called hungry ghosts. And because of karma, even if many ghosts find food, they can't swallow it, or turn into fire, so they have a feeding spell, and with the blessing of the spell, many hungry ghosts can eat food.

The number of ghost paths is huge. How much is it? The Buddha once made an analogy:

The ratio of humans to celestial beings is the earth's soil to a handful of soil in their hands, the ratio of paraphytes (including very small insects, ants, etc.) to humans is also the ratio of earthly soil to a handful of soil, and the ratio of ghosts to parases is also the ratio of earthly soil to handful of soil, and the ratio of hell to ghosts and sentient beings. From this, we can see how many beings there are in the Hungry Ghost Dao. It is precisely because of the large number that the merit of giving food is very great, and it can benefit immeasurable ghost sentient beings, and according to the law of cause and effect, the giver will naturally have immeasurable merit and good fortune.

On the other hand, we have been parents and relatives of each other for too long, so to speak, these ghost beings are our parents and relatives, so we are also called mother-like beings. We have the ability and opportunity to give food, how can we let them suffer from hunger and cold, not for merit, but only for family affection, but also for food, so that they can eat to their stomachs. At the same time, some sentient beings, after hearing the Dharma mantras, may be directly reborn in the Heavenly Dao or the Buddha Kingdom, which makes us rejoice.

Taoism introduced the concept of "reincarnation", minus the Asura path, and put forward the "five paths":

One is God, God is God in Heaven;

The two realms are gods who are human beings in the form of flesh and bones;

The three realms, the gods enter the beasts and become the beast gods;

The four realms, the gods enter the li, and the hungry ghosts are also famous;

Those who are in the five realms, those who enter the mud, the name of the hell, and the gods who are guilty of entering the mud and the middle school examination.

See the Seven Signatures of the Clouds, vol. 10.

Ghosts are born from Buddhism, Taoism originally did not have ghosts, Taoism originally divided people into three souls and seven spirits, that people only have one life, and when they die, they return to heaven and earth. The so-called hell of Taoism is also evolved to counter Buddhism, and the original Taoism did not have the word hell. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, although there is a division of ghosts, it is not how detailed and cautious, after all, there are all kinds of life in the world, how can there be so many divisions that can summarize the life and death of people.

The six realms of reincarnation are divided into the path of heaven, humanity, hell, hungry ghosts, beasts, and asuras. Ghost Daoist, hungry ghost Dao also. All the ghosts in the world can also be classified as hungry ghosts.

When people die, they are afraid of falling into the three evil paths, and they can only fall into the hungry ghost path after doing a lot of evil things in life, which is called karma, but there are ghost paths in the six realms of reincarnation. The way of hungry ghosts is determined by themselves for all the evil things they do, and if they don't do evil things, they will turn around in the six realms, and the ghosts and ghosts will become ghosts and ghosts if they are wronged in their lives.

Perverts, dead ghosts, little ghosts, old ghosts, drunkards.

It is rumored that there are also ghosts in the yellow father who are not worshipped, they are ghosts, there was once a ghost named Qi Kuo (or called the evil eater, Amber thinks that the evil eater should be his mixed name) The yellow father ghost, every morning to eat three thousand evil ghosts, and three hundred evil ghosts at night (eat full in the morning, eat less in the evening, and talk about health). There is no trace of Huang's father's ghost, and there is no way to deal with him, but fortunately, there are few records of his activities in the world, and there is no record of killing, but it just makes people sick.

Science has proven that there are no ghosts in the world.

As for the definition of "ghost", some religious superstitions believe that after death, a person will have a soul, that is, a "ghost". This alone has not been confirmed by scientific evidence, and scientists agree that all ghosts in the world are imaginary, and ghosts only exist in people's brains. In this regard, scientists have also found through a large number of surveys and studies:

"Ghosts" do not exist, while "hauntings" are caused by environmental and psychological effects.

The term soul refers to the existence of consciousness, mental and mental activities that cannot be separated from the existence of the brain. But most people believe that once a person dies, the consciousness will not exist, and the so-called soul will disappear with it.

Scientists have come up with a variety of explanations for this: one may be due to psychological effects, including delusional hallucinations. The second explanation is psychopathological effect, which is a phenomenon of mental disorder and amnesia caused by damage to the brain organs.

The third possibility is caused by environmental changes, where human living spaces are filled with electromagnetic waves, and changes in electromagnetic waves can cause hallucinations.

Answer: In the Bible, evil spirits and unclean spirits refer to fallen angels, and fallen angels are real and roving in search of those who can deceive, hurt, and destroy. In life, we have limited time, limited experience, and limited knowledge.

There are so many things that we don't know and haven't seen that they don't exist because of our ignorance. In fact, a ghost is a spirit formless and substantial, invisible or intangible, but it really exists. I'll be honest, in fact, we've all "seen" ghosts.

Everyone should have a similar experience: walking alone on the dark road in the middle of the night, you will feel uneasy and even feel that there is something behind you. Reason tells us that there are no ghosts in the world, but the mind tells us that there are ghosts behind us.

In fact, it is normal to be scared when walking alone at night, because there are indeed ghosts that affect our hearts. The human brain is intellectually unable to perceive the existence of the spirit world, but the human mind is able to perceive the existence of the spirit world and is influenced by the spirit world. No matter how much anyone declares that there are no ghosts in the world, they are afraid of ghosts and will die under special circumstances!

My dad thought there were no ghosts in the world, but he worked as a security guard in the hospital for two or three years, but he said he was very afraid of being near the hospital morgue.

The essence of true Buddhism and Taoism is the same, ghosts and gods are beings who are unenlightened, exist, greedy, and clinging, and cannot leave.

In the general sense of bai, Buddhism did not have this kind of anti-evil theory before Du Dongdu, and after the integration of dao and local Taoism, it absorbed some of the ideas and styles of Taoism, and this kind of saying was produced. Buddhism, for its part, is to seek transcendence, to purify sentient beings or to transcend oneself. In terms of the ultimate goal of Taoism, it is to become an immortal, and in terms of the core idea, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to become an immortal.

Although, now many Taoist priests have forgotten this and no longer believe in cultivating the Tao.

The so-called suppression of evil spirits and suppression of ghosts are also passed on from the Taoist sect - half of them are to fool the people, and the other half, no one can say whether there is evil and evil ghosts, and the results are difficult to describe.

However, exorcising evil spirits and suppressing ghosts, breaking yin and yang, and punishing ghosts and ghosts are all good tricks of Taoism.

Basically, it is the Daojiao Sect to exorcise evil spirits and exorcise ghosts.
