What are the reasons why Taoism always loses in the battle between Buddhism and Taoism?

In the historical controversy over Buddhism, people seem to have been given the impression that Taoism has always been at a disadvantage. "Journey to the West" should have been read, insideChe Chi Guo Dou LawMany people are very familiar with it, the whole country respected Taoism, drove all Buddhists to do hard labor for Taoism。In such an environment, Tang Seng and Huli Daxian, Luli Daxian, and Yangli Daxian competed in spells, and finally Buddhism won several times.

In the eyes of many people, Taoism is the native religion of our country, including China, which is the foundation, why it has failed in arguments and spells. First of all, we need to have an understanding of the twoTaoism advocates longevity and immortality; Buddhism advocates reincarnation, and as long as we have no sin in our hearts, we can go to heaven。From the perspective of the Chinese people, we Chinese talk about seeing is believing, and Taoism has lost this point.

The second point is the emperor's partiality towards Taoism in ancient Chinese history。During the Yuan Dynasty, there was a Buddhist and Taoist debate conference, and the reigning emperor Yuan Xianzong said: "IThe country interprets Hongji according to the Buddha's power, and the Buddha's holy decree dares not to followWe must know that this sentence was said by the emperor, and the number of people who supported Buddhism at the debate directly increased by half.

In this case, not to mention whether we can win or not, the emperor is present and he supports Buddhism, so we can argue Buddhism with the theoretical knowledge of Taoism, so we must pay attention to the arguments who speak on behalf of Taoism because of the emperor, right? The results of the competition can be imagined, the representatives of Taoism did not have any chance to refute at all, and the emperor directly announced "The Taoist is responsible".。Under these conditions, the failure of Taoism is an inevitable result.

The third point is the lack of theoretical knowledge, I don't want to say this, I think everyone understands. There are very few Taoist books, although a new Taoist scripture appeared later, which is fundamentally to promote the development of Taoism, but this Taoist scripture is very short of time, and the problem of defects and loopholes is very serious. The Buddhist books "Lengyan Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", "Heart Sutra" and many other classic books are very popular in China.

The fourth point is to believe in the cost gap, the Buddha believes in the afterlife, and the Tao believes in this life。Taoism borrows external forces to cultivate itself, the most basic alchemy and cultivation, in order to achieve immortality; Buddhism, on the other hand, advocates reincarnation and the afterlife, as long as you start from the heart to the Buddha, you can successfully survive the tribulation. And Buddhism inside".Pudu sentient beings"I think everyone has heard that by meditating on the Buddha, you can achieve positive results, and the cost of cultivation is very low, so it is easier to become the spiritual sustenance of the people.

In short, Taoism and Buddhism have their own characteristics, and as long as the followers of the two sects have a sincere heart towards them, they can achieve positive results. Both major sects regard tranquility as the pursuit of life, and all cultivation is aimed at achieving peace of mind. Now that the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism has moved towards integration, the true cultivators advocate learning from each other on an equal footing, rather than slandering each other

This is because, compared with Buddhism, Taoism is not conducive to the rule of rulers, and many of the ideas of Buddhism can imprison people's minds, play the role of fooling the people, and are conducive to the rule of the rulers of the country.

Because the Taoist proposition is very unrealistic, while the Buddhist proposition is more realistic; During the Yuan Dynasty, Buddhism was very supportive, and Taoism was not supported.

The ideas of Taoism are often more advanced, but Buddhism is very simple, so there are many people who believe in it.

The main reason was the support of the rulers, as Buddhism was more conducive to the ruler's rule over the people.

Since ancient times, the virtuous and the virtuous have turned the Buddha into the foolish. Buddhists say, "If you don't believe me, you will go to hell." Taoism says: "If you love to believe, you will believe, and if you don't believe it, you will go"! So the Taoists were defeated!
