    No, but some of the realms of their practice coincide, but Buddhism speaks more clearly, more profoundly, and attaches importance to the essence and does not care about phenomena (the practice is a more essential holy path), and Taoism attaches more importance to external phenomena and specific effects (clinging to the immortal path of immortality).

    This is almost the same, they are all one kind of faith, so in the past, when Buddhism was prosperous, they were opposed to each other, because they needed to compete for believers, in fact, they were all the same thing.

    Dharma is true wisdom, true and true, and nothing is reversed.

    Taoist insight is a drama theory, born from an upside-down view. The root is false, and the fruit is not true.

    I think Buddha is just a faith, but the Tao is very broad, and all religions are in the Tao! Everything is inseparable from the Tao! Taoism!

    Amitabha, good brother, Buddha is the meaning of the enlightened person, everyone has Buddha nature, the concept of "heart" has a lot of meaning in Buddhism, different places often have different meanings, if you are a beginner, it is good to understand it as the meaning of the mind for the time being, and there will be more and deeper understanding in the future when you learn slowly.

    I knew some Taoism before I started school, and I also read the Tao Te Ching, but I didn't study it in depth, so I could only talk about the difference between "Buddha" and "Tao" according to my own understanding.

    Buddhism and Taoism have a lot of similarities, but they are not the same, if the subject really understands the two, it is basically impossible to believe in both, so it is impossible to talk about nothing.

    Taoism advocates "Tao and Nature", that is, to follow nature itself, to do things according to the original operation of things, everything is in line with the "Tao", and finally understand that oneself and the Tao are one, and no matter what you do, you are in line with the Tao. Does it sound very similar to the Buddhist "spontaneousness" and "detachment"? (Many people have misunderstood the word "fate", if you are a beginner, you can understand this word as "condition", that is, the secondary cause of the result, cause is the cause and condition, after in-depth study, you may have a deeper understanding of the fate) But "fate" and "non-attachment" are not exactly to let things develop naturally, if to let things develop naturally is to follow fate, that is, not to be attached, then why cling to a "natural development", to cling to a "Tao of nature"?

    Why climb a "natural" edge?

    So, what Buddhism says about detachment is actually to let go of both attachment and non-attachment, and to let go of it, because attachment to "detachment" is still attachment. The ultimate state is life and death and nirvana, afflictions and bodhi, and sentient beings and Buddhas. Afflictions are Bodhi, and sentient beings are Buddhas.

    So why do we keep emphasizing detachment? Isn't that clinging to non-attachment? In fact, there is a stage of cultivation, people must first be able to climb before they can learn to walk, and then learn to run, and after learning to run, they can abandon the initial climbing.

    Cultivation is to let go of attachment step by step, and it often takes a long time to reach the state of complete letting go above, and the bodhisattvas will have ignorance, and the only one who can truly and thoroughly "let go" is the Buddha. (The reason for the quotation marks is because don't be obsessed with putting it down).

    It is for these reasons that the true Dharma cannot be said in words, because as soon as you open your mouth, you will fall into attachment again, and the Dharma that the Buddha says is like a finger pointing to the moon, and the real Dharma is the moon, not a finger. That's why there is the phrase "can't be said", and there will also be Zen Buddhism's "don't set up words, don't pass on them outside the church".

    Amitabha.

    Buddhism is more than 2,500 years old and was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, the prince of the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapila (in present-day Nepal) (refer to Buddha's birthday). It is widely believed in the West that Buddhism originated in India, and India is in fact trying to create an image of a "Buddhist holy land". This has led many people to have the illusion that the Buddha was born in India, which has always been dissatisfied with the Nepalese people.

    Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world. Buddha, which means "enlightened one". The Buddha is also known as the Buddha, the Offering, the Omniscient, the Enlightened Foot, the Good Death, the Worldly Solution, the Supreme Master, the Tempering Husband, the Heavenly Teacher, and the World-Honored One.

    Buddhism values the progress and enlightenment of the human mind and morality. The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to follow Siddhartha's method of enlightenment, to discover the truth of life and the universe, and ultimately to transcend birth, death, suffering, and all afflictions, and to attain ultimate liberation.

    Taoism is the native religion of China, with "Tao" as the highest faith. Taoism is based on the ancient Chinese concept of ghost and god worship, based on the ideas of Huang and Lao Taoism, and inherited the evolution of immortal magic since the Warring States period.

    At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Taoist organizations appeared, including the famous Taiping Dao and Wudou Rice Dao. Patriarch Zhang Daoling officially founded the Order, which has a history of 1,800 years. Taoism is a polytheistic worship, and the gods and immortals are personified and embodied in Taoism's belief in "Tao".

    Taoist priests are Taoist clergy, and there are more than 30,000 Taoist priests living in the country. The palace is a place for Taoist activities, and there are more than 2,000 palaces registered and opened in the country.

    Buddhism and Taoism have different starting points and are the same way in the end.

    The supreme state of Taoism is in common with the reality of Buddhism, Madhyamaka.

    The so-called "emptiness" of Buddhism is the "mindlessness" of Taoism.

    The false view of Buddhism is the non-existence of Taoism.

    The Madhyamaka of Buddhism is the Taoist "voiding".

    As for the taste of immortals, there are: golden immortals, heavenly immortals, gods, earth immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals. The golden immortal is the highest, and the ghost immortal is the lowest. These grades correspond to the tastes of Buddhism.

    Jin Xian - the Buddha and Bodhisattva corresponding to Buddhism.

    Heavenly Immortals - corresponding to the two squares of Buddhism.

    Immortals - the gods of the heavens who have not yet been reincarnated.

    Earth immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals - earth and heaven, ghosts and gods in the world.

    Different from the above, the Immortal Cultivation Immortal Enlightenment Product divides the immortals into nine grades: the Nine Heavenly True King, the Three Heavenly True King, the Taishang True King, the Flying Heavenly True Man, the Spirit Immortal, the True Person, the Spirit Man, the Flying Immortal, and the Immortal. When they reach the realm of real people, they can come out of the yang god, and when they reach the realm of immortals, they can incarnate hundreds of millions of beings like Buddha.

    The True King to the Nine Heavens True King is a high true immortal who has come out of reincarnation, and the spirit people and the following are still in the six realms of reincarnation.

    The realm of the Taoist sect is incredible, not the ordinary ignorant people, the immortals in the "Lengyan Sutra" are comparable, and the word "immortal" is very inappropriate to use the word "immortal" when translating the "Lengyan Sutra", so that later generations often quote the attack on the Daomen for ignorant Buddhists, in fact, the immortals in the "Lengyan Sutra" are mostly the Qi refiners in Brahmanism, and their grades are from ghosts and immortals to immortals, uneven. The Heavenly Immortals and the Golden Immortals emphasize the dual cultivation of life, sex is true as the Dharma, and life is the qi, pulse, and clear point of Tantra.

    When Daomen talks about hiding gods in the heart, it refers to knowing gods and primordial gods. The seven senses of those who know the gods, and the eight senses of the primordial gods are like coming to hide. The Xuanji Sea of the Daomen is the Virujana of the Buddha Gate and the god Samadhi, and those who come to this state are the Buddha and the Tao.

    Since ancient times, China has had the saying of three religions and nine streams, which refers to: Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Buddha is different from Buddhism, and Taoism is different from Taoism.

    But his thinking about the universe and his view of the world are dredged up. Since the beginning of Chinese history, Buddhism and Taoism have been the same Xuanmen and have a long history. And because the Buddha and the Tao complement each other, there will be things from the other within them.

    The actual difference is very big, at the same time the Tao is also divided into Taoist thought and Taoism, these two are also different, just in the field of thought to compare, Taoism is slightly inferior to Buddhism, although it is also spiritually very similar to the law of non-action, but in the most fundamental part of consciousness, as well as the explanation of the self and the ontology of all things, Taoism is too rough, and Taoism is established in Taoist thought, and the result can be drawn.

    Buddhism can be said to be a person in Buddhism.

    The path of Buddhism can be said to be the path to Buddhahood.

    The path of Buddhism can also be interpreted as the path of being a correct person.

    Buddhism can also be considered as absolute truth.

    The path of Buddhism can also be called the path of liberation and sublimation.

    and even the truth of the future generations, and strive to practice the Taoist Dan Dao.

    At the same time, you can delve into the theory of Buddhism, the Buddha and the Tao refer to each other, and keep improving, and you will suddenly understand everything one day.

    The Tao is natural, and the Dharma is also natural, that is, the Buddha is the Tao.

    Repentance and becoming a saint one day at a time, all religions have one thing in common, "those who call the Dharma are not Dharma."

    When we worship the Buddha, we are worshipping our own hearts, so it doesn't have to be a Buddha statue.

    I can't ask for it, I can't think about it, I can't hope for it. The Tao is natural, don't seek, don't want, don't hope.

    There is life and death, there is happiness and sorrow, and where there is happiness there is the end of unhappiness. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the greater the goal, the more you pay, the more you pay, the more you gain, the more you gain, the more you lose.

    The first day of the achievement of things indicates the end of corruption, life has ups and downs, there are ups and downs, one eliminates the other, the young and strong do not work hard, the boss is sad, the pole of things must be reversed, and happiness is born of sorrow or not. The more concerned people are, the more things happen to the people you love, the more you love them, the more likely things you are afraid and worried about, the closer the people you hate and dislike the closer you are, and the farther away you are from the people you desire. Good things don't necessarily make you lucky, a beautiful wife and daughter are not necessarily a good thing, a person with a lot of money is not necessarily happy, and a penniless person is not necessarily unhappy.

    Comfort is accumulating sorrow, doting is accumulating hatred, and hatred of others is accumulating pain ...... for oneself

    Anger hurts the liver, worry hurts the lungs, agitation hurts the heart ,......

    People who are timid and afraid of things are not easy to succeed in personnel affairs, and people who are not afraid of anything, his wife makes him the most worried and afraid, otherwise his children are the most worried and afraid, otherwise physical problems are estimated to be found.

    The smartest person is not necessarily the person who will succeed in the future, the person who runs slowly may not be able to run first, the stupid person may be a genius in the future, and the child who is praised by everyone may not be able to become a great person.

    Enjoy more and enjoy less blessings, less evil thoughts, more wisdom, more kindness, and more decomposition.

    The Dharma originates from the world and does not leave the world, so the Buddha said that the Dharma can solve the big problem of life and death through the suffering of life, but there is no way to say it.

    The ultimate pursuit of Buddhism is the same as Taoism, that is, "nature" and "non-action". That is to say, you don't have to have any thoughts, you don't have to say anything, you don't have to do anything, everything in the world has its own way of life and death. Therefore, it can also be said that the Dharma is natural, and the Tao is natural.

    Existence and non-existence are both Taos, existence and non-existence summarize everything, do you say that the Buddha can be separated from existence and non-existence? This is the worldview of Taoism, and Taoism is different from Taoism, you have to know whether you are pursuing the Taoist way or the Taoist way.

For example, I am in Scorpio, because the ruling planet is Pluto, and Pluto descends from a planet to a dwarf planet, so stargazers think that Scorpio people are cold or cruel.
