BuddhismAs two traditional religions, Taoism has always been influencing the world with its own thoughts. For contemporary society, I think Taoist ideas will be more in line with today's people. There are two reasons why I say this:
The first reason: Taoism pays attention to self-cultivation.
Taoism as our Chinese nation.
His own religion also has a very long history and culture, and in history, there are also many excellent Taoists.
Their practice places are usually in secluded mountains, and Taoists practice in tranquility and tranquility. Cultivators not only pay attention to their physical health, but also attach great importance to their mental nature.
For contemporary people, there are many bad habits in life. Such as smoking, drinking, and staying up late to eat unhealthy food.
It is these unhealthy foods, as well as the associated bad habits, that make people's physical fitness.
In constant decline. Moreover, the probability of suffering from diseases is also greatly increasing.
If we can apply Taoist ideas to our lives, we can help many people get rid of bad habits, so that they can have a healthy lifestyle and a healthy body.
The second reason: Taoism leads people to be indisputable Contemporary people become a little impetuous because of the pressure of work and life, and many times not only when doing things, can not calm down, even when dealing with family members, they are also prone to anger.
For some people, there is a value of "money first". Under the influence of these thoughts, they can do a lot of things with a clear conscience.
The purpose of Taoism is to let people let go of their inner impetuousness; Surround yourself with beautiful natural surroundings.
and experience the joy of nature.
Many times, drinking a cup of tea and paying attention to the fragrance of flowers and birds around you is also a very good choice.
And now there are many people, in order to calm their hearts, they also begin to learn Taoist practices; Therefore, in my opinion, Taoist thought will be more suitable for people today.
-
I think the most suitable for contemporary society is Taoism, because what Buddhism advocates is simply unattainable and has a great impact on people's livelihood.
-
Neither is suitable. In modern Chinese society, religious ideas are not advocated, but they are not opposed. Therefore, the state does not promote a certain religion. However, as long as the individual is within the scope of the law, it is permissible to believe in religion.
-
The world's sects, the world's great harmony, all sects, as long as they do, abide by the law, the harmony of the family and the country, the people are auspicious, and the renewal of Vientiane is all good teaching, Taoist culture, ancestral treasures, natural laws, Taoism, Confucianism, righteousness and morality, etiquette and good faith, are all very important!
-
Do not cling to the name and appearance of the law, and do not discriminate between the name and appearance of the law. Taught according to the individual's root machine. If the root machine is suitable for the Dharma, then the Dharma is practiced; The root machine is suitable for the Dao, so practice the Dao. As long as mindfulness is practiced, all roads lead to Rome.
-
Buddhism and Taoism have their own merits, regardless of high and low, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are one!
-
Confucian culture Wang Yangming's mind is the most valuable to the society, self-cultivation, family, governing the country and leveling the world, and saving the people. Buddhism and Taoism are free from suffering and happy!
-
Human beings themselves have not changed, what has changed is foreign objects, computers have replaced abacus, mobile phones have replaced letters, and religion has solved the physical and mental destiny of human beings, and technology has solved foreign objects, because human beings themselves have not changed, so there is no such thing as suitable for today's society.
-
The development of the world is pluralistic, but also needs pluralism, regardless of Buddhism, from the perspective of practitioners, it is for life and death, from a political point of view, it is a way to educate people's hearts, for the peace of the country and the people!
-
There is nothing suitable and not suitable, Buddhism and Taoism have existed for so long, and they have played a role in every era;
-
Buddhism is fooled, Taoism is also fooled, Taoism is the answer, don't raise the bar, they just haven't discovered the truth of the real objective world laws.
-
Personally, I think that as long as you can absorb its essence and remove its dross, you can do both, on the contrary, it is not possible to absorb the dross without taking the essence, and it is not possible to inherit it comprehensively.
-
The Buddhist scriptures and the Tao Te Ching are both eternal wisdom, and contemporary religious thought is the product of contemporary people.
-
The Taoism of feathering into immortals has become a Taoism of hanging, fortune telling, and feng shui, and almost all Taoist priests can't read the Tao Te Ching, so I don't think it's eliminated!.
-
Existence is a truth, and there is no comparison.
-
This problem is problematic in itself. Belief is what is the freedom of the individual, not what society is suitable for.
-
It's all ghost worship, it's not worth mentioning!
-
Earning money is suitable for today's religious thought.
-
Turnip greens have their own love.

Although Taoism and Buddhism are both traditional Chinese religious beliefs, in modern society, Buddhism is more prosperous than Taoism due to the following reasons:
1.External Transmission: Buddhism traditionally attaches great importance to external transmission and meditation, especially in overseas Chinese communities, where there are many temples and other Buddhist sites that are convenient for believers to study, worship and practice.
However, Taoism has traditionally been weaker than external transmission, and there is a lack of relevant institutions or channels for publicity and promotion.
In contrast, Taoism has a variety of belief objects, including immortals, Taoist ancestors, ancestors, etc., and it is difficult to form a unity.
First, a stable image.
3.Conceptual system: Compared with Buddhism, Taoism lacks an authoritative conceptual system, and different Taoist schools even have different cosmological views and philosophical thoughts. This makes it difficult for Taoism to form a stable and unified system.
1. Systematic religious system, which leads to its disadvantage in spreading and competition.
4.Social environment: The fast-paced, impetuous environment of modern society has become more and more vulgar and utilitarian. Buddhism, on the other hand, is centered on compassion, forbearance, and self-denial, which is more likely to meet the needs of modern society for spiritual comfort and a sense of self-meaning.
In general, the prosperity of Taoism and Buddhism in modern society is not only based on religious beliefs per se, but also influenced by many cultural, historical, social and other factors.
-
Taoism pays attention to "quiet and inaction", and has been very low-key since ancient times, and has never attached importance to preaching. If Taoism had been preached in the same way as European and American religions, Taoism would have been able to spread all over the world, after all, the Tao Te Ching was greater than the Bible.
-
Buddhism denies everything because "appearances are illusory" and "all promising dharmas, such as dreams and electricity, are considered to be such views". If they are all overthrown, people will return to themselves and become their own masters; Taoism says it all. Behind Zhuangzi's so-called "qi matter" is a sustainable thing, that is, nature, when the horizon reaches infinity, nature can be seen at a glance.
Just like when you throw a stone from a height, you can see the whole process and of course you will know the result. As soon as Taoism solves these problems, it becomes clear how to deal with things - if you can't resist the laws of nature, you can rest here.
The same is true of Buddhism. Causal reincarnation is the result of a violation of nature. One emphasizes "adaptation" and the other emphasizes "what happens if you don't adapt".
They just fall from different angles. Then, for the average person, "obsession" is the desire for things to develop according to their imagination, not to enter them; Some obsessed people find things difficult to deliver. They think more and more and add problems to themselves.
This is the exact opposite of water. We are talking about "origins".
The valley is characterized by being "empty". Everything inside can be loaded. When you get there, you get there.
The valley doesn't stop when you go. Like an outsider. According to Zhuangzi, this is "if you do nothing, things will be controlled".
The Tao in Taoist thought is not only the creator and regulator of all things in the universe, but also the essence and origin of all things in the universe. "Tao" is not God and God, but the objective existence and natural existence that transcends God and God.
Wang Bi believes that "Tao" is "nothing", and "nothing" is the ontology of "Tao", which directly compares the "Tao" of Tao to the "truth" of Buddhism. This thought was completely influenced by the Mahayana school of Prajna Buddhism during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and seriously deviated from the original meaning of Laozi's thought. It can be seen from Lao Tzu that the "nothing" mentioned by Lao Tzu is nothing, and nothing, not the name of "Dao", "Wu" is just an objective form of "Dao".

BuddhismWe all know that Taoism Chinese is a native religion in China, while Buddhism is a foreign religion, although Buddhism comes from India, but the development rate of Buddhism in China is much higher than that of Taoism in China.
In China, there are many more people who believe in Buddhism, but what is the reason for this? Is Buddhism really better than Taoism? There is a saying in Buddhism:
The law is equal, and there is no superiority. This shows that Buddhism and Taoism are actually indistinguishable. So why is Buddhism better developed in modern society?
First, the theoretical knowledge of Buddhism is easier, and we ordinary people can understand it better.
Taoist. In ancient times, it was also called metaphysics, and Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders.
What is the door to all the wonders? What is mysterious? There are not as many Taoist classics as Buddhism, and the only work handed down by Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, is the "Tao Te Ching".
And a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching contains all the ten thousand laws, if the Tao Te Ching is compared with the Buddhist classics, the Tao Te Ching is like the Buddhist Diamond Sutra.
Lotus Sutra, etc. We all know that we all learn Buddhism and Taoism.
It is necessary to pay attention to the foundation, and the reason why there are many people who believe in Buddhism is because the threshold of Buddhism is relatively low, and anyone can understand it, but Taoism is different, if you do not understand the Vajra and Lengyan Sutras.
As the foundation, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the door of enlightenment. This also leads to the fact that Taoism does not have a Buddhist system.
One of the more people who learn.
Second, Buddhism is transmitted in a way that is better than Taoism.
Buddhism is based on casual fate, as long as people who have been in contact with Buddhism can learn the Dharma, regardless of men and women, young and old, those with a better foundation can participate in Zen, and those with a good foundation can also recite Buddhism, no matter what the foundation of the person, can learn the Dharma. Taoism is different, Taoism is almost a closed way of transmission, if you don't take the initiative to learn, few Taoist priests will take the initiative to promote Taoism with you. <>
3. Modern society is a peaceful and prosperous era.
Every time there is a war era, Taoism has a place to use, and people who believe in Taoism will appear one after another, such as Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bowen, Zhang Liang.
Wait. In the Taiping years, the Taoist family will live in seclusion in the mountains. Taoist thought is more suitable for troubled times, while Buddhist thought is more suitable for peaceful times.
Of course, this is not absolute, and the ideas of Taoism also played a role in the Taiping period, while the ideas of Buddhism also had a certain influence during the Taiping period, but the former was relatively more obvious. <>
-
Because Taoism is about escapism. From ancient times to the present, some cultivators have chosen relatively remote places to build Taoist temples, and they feel that it is more beneficial for them to escape from the world.

Amitabha! Therefore, those who can live long and long in heaven and earth can live forever because they do not generate by themselves. Not to mention Buddhism, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas make great vows and transform sentient beings with bodhicitta
So that sentient beings can [really] be free from their afflictions, transcend samsara, and go away from birth and death.
One who is more able to transform others in the six degrees, the four degrees and the four immeasurable degrees, and attain the three bodhisattvas [supreme enlightenment]!
Instead of the ethereal immortality, wishful thinking of becoming an immortal and enjoying happiness, trapped in the reincarnation of the Three Realms and the Six Realms, unable to live and die, and born and died with the pull of karma.
Talking about the so-called avenue
It's clear! Stay away from the outer ways and practice the Dharma.
It's a fundamentally wise move!
The cultural theme is different. Confucianism, on the other hand, is a positive and enterprising culture. Taoism is a culture that follows the rules. Buddhism is a culture of selfless giving.
First, the essence is different
Taoism: At the beginning of its founding, it was in line with the goal of "hanging the pot to help the world", which can be said to save the world, or to save people, the goal of Taoism has always been to achieve the Tao and ascend, and attach great importance to cultivation, which allows us to decide our own destiny. >>>More
I think the poet immortal Li Bai was the first poet of the Tang Dynasty because he was talented and traveled through many rivers and mountains. He has written many excellent works.
Meng Meiqi, although the two idols are both good-looking and powerful, but relatively speaking, Meng Meiqi became popular earlier, and her personal resources are better, and compared with Liu Yuxin's neutral style, Meng Meiqi's audience may be a little wider.
