In terms of introduction, there are many similarities:
1 are all fellow travelers seeking the truth of the universe, but they have different degrees of understanding.
2. Both belong to "practice".
Everyone will start with "goodness".
Everyone has discovered the objective law of karma.
5. Everyone has his own place and the patentee's "home" (called "temple" in Buddhism); Taoism calls it "Taoist temple")
6. Everyone has his own guiding ideology, activities and manners.
Look at different places:
Fundamentally speaking, both Buddhism and Taoism aim at getting a glimpse of the truth of the universe, and they are both fellow travelers walking along the same avenue, but the purpose of Taoism is to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature, and finally achieve the realm of longevity and immortality with heaven; The purpose of Buddhism is to see nature clearly, to finally get rid of life and death, and to transcend reincarnation. In fact, there is an essential difference between the two.
For example, there are different attitudes and ways to treat ghosts. Taoism believes that "heaven and earth are heartless, and everything is a grass dog", so first descend, then catch, then cross over, and if you can't cross over, break up and let it go; Buddhism, on the other hand, believes that "all beings have Buddha nature, and all beings can become Buddhas", so compassion and compassion have transcended the pure land of Buddhism.
