    Don't say that Tibetan Buddhism is influenced by Taoism, Chinese Buddhism is also influenced by Taoism. Lao Tzu's non-action, nature, being, and non-existence appear in Buddhist scriptures, all of which are from Taoist professional terms. In ancient times, when Zhu Fahu and Kumarosh translated Buddhist scriptures, they were familiar with Chinese cultural ideas and influenced by Taoist thoughts, and when translating Buddhist scriptures, they all incorporated some Taoist ideas into the translated scriptures unconsciously.

    Tibetan Buddhism is a very open religion because it learns all kinds of knowledge for the sake of reaching out to all sentient beings, and then integrates that knowledge into the Tibetan Buddhist culture. Therefore, Tibetan Buddhism attaches great importance to the study of the Five Wisdoms. The Encyclopedia of Chinese Buddhism points out that the five Mings are the Declaration, the Cause, the Medicine, the Skill, and the Interior.

    Its content is like the second volume of the "Records of the Western Regions": statement, interpretation of the words, interpretation of the words, interpretation of the eye. Clever workmanship, trick organs, lunisolar calendar numbers.

    The medical prescription is clear, the curse is forbidden, and the medicine stone is acupuncture. Because of the clear, the test determines the good and the evil, and studies the authenticity. Inner Ming, study the five vehicles, cause and effect.

    The Bodhisattva's Spiritual Teachings Explaining the Bodhisattva's Dharma-seeking, the Bodhisattva should seek all the Bodhisattva's Tibetan Dharma, all the Shravaka Tibetan Dharma, all the discourses, and all the worldly industrial discourses. Among them, the Bodhisattva Tibetan Dharma and the Shravaka Tibetan Dharma belong to the inner knowledge, and all the dispositions refer to the declaration, the cause and the medical prescription, and all the worldly industrial dispositions are the work and skill of the understanding. Thus, the Five Mings also include all the scholarships that Mahayana bodhisattvas have learned.

    Before Tibetan Buddhism entered Tibet, Master Lotus Huasheng, the first patriarch of Tibetan Buddhism, was himself a man of rich learning, who studied Buddhist thought, Indian yoga, and integrated Taoist thought in his life. The Nine Palaces Bagua is a symbol of Taoism, and when you see this symbol in the Manjushri Nine Palace Bagua Diagram made by Master Rinpoche, you can see the embodiment of the influence of Taoist thought. Because there are patriarchs who take the lead in learning Taoist thought, Tibetan Buddhism has become more active and open than Han Buddhism, and in addition to Master Xulian, there are more Tibetan masters who have come into contact with Taoism, and after understanding that Taoism is a vast and profound Han culture, they will take its essence and remove its badness, and integrate Taoist ideas into Buddhism.

    Because Tibetan Buddhism pays attention to the Five Wisdoms, and there are patriarchs who lead them to contact or integrate Taoist culture, it is natural that Tibetan Buddhism has a related connection with Taoism.

    Buddhism can only be said to be a branch of religion, and religion is divided into Tantra and Zen Buddhism, and Buddhism is only a branch of Zen Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism has some subtle relationships with Tantra, and the largest branch of Tantra is Taoism.

    How to say it, it can only be said that they don't have a good relationship. Buddhism and Taoism are both sects, and of course believers are required. In the same way, believers are human beings. At that time, there were relatively few people, and Buddhism robbed Taoism of business.
