The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism

I saw in the comment section of some websites that the topic of my incompatibility between Buddhism and Taoism was mentioned. I happened to see a post under an article today that touched me, so I wanted to talk about my attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.

Let’s talk about that post first. The article talks about reincarnation and the story of good and evil being rewarded. Someone commented on euthanasia based on the events in the story. The general idea is that if you don’t get enough of what you deserve, you can’t escape, so you can hide for a while through euthanasia.

If you can't escape reincarnation, you will be punished more for your sins.

In my opinion, this post itself has a logical flaw. How could one know that the euthanasia person did not end his life by euthanasia after suffering all the sins he deserved? Euthanasia is just a new method of ending life, just like

It's the same as being hit by a car. Before there were cars, there was no way to die like being hit by a car. With the advent of cars, God could arrange for some people to end their lives by being hit by a car. Of course, according to God's Creation

From a theoretical point of view, the emergence of automobiles is also an arrangement of God.

Euthanasia is suicide. Several major religions hold a negative attitude towards suicide. There is a deep-seated reason for this. All major religions were born relatively early. At that time, the population was related to national strength. From top to bottom

It is not enough to encourage childbearing. Naturally, we must try our best to prevent suicide, a behavior that will reduce the population. Therefore, whether it is the instruction of the ruling class or the consciousness of religious people, use doctrine to deny the behavior of suicide.

, and defines it as a sin, which is very easy to understand, and has the same meaning as the preaching that "there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having offspring".

I am not saying this to support suicide, but if someone really lives to the point where he has nothing to live for, my attitude is to respect his choice. Unless you have the ability to help him get out of trouble, forcing him to live may not be good for him.

Good thing. I'm digressing a little bit, but I'm going to talk about the negative attitudes of several major religions towards suicide to bring out the point I want to express below.

Religion explains the ultimate unknown of mankind, how this world came into being, how we humans came to be, and where our destination is.

Every religion is a guess or a solution to these ultimate questions. I think these are the various religions

The essence of religion, rather than something derived from it that serves for rule. In the process of development, religion must be used by the ruling class and stuffed with some ideas and doctrines that are conducive to rule. There is no big religion.

Exceptions can be made. Only by being able to distinguish which are the true teachings and which are the rubbish added to fool you can you avoid becoming an ignorant believer.

At this point, there is not much to say. They are all just guesses or answers to the ultimate unknown. I have only a slight understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, and I think both answers have merits and disadvantages.

Where I agree, what I wrote in the book are my guesses about the ultimate answer. Of course, I was able to come up with these ideas because I stood on the shoulders of a group of giants.

I am self-aware, but when it comes to speculating on the ultimate unknown, I must have the courage to look at those giants with cold eyes. Otherwise, I can only crawl at the feet of a certain giant and circle around him. I respect Buddhism and Taoism.

, I am full of admiration for the wonderful answers given by the sages, but the answers given by any of them are not enough to convince me.

So it goes without saying that I don’t distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism. I don’t want to distinguish it at all. The answers given by them are very clear in the classics. I don’t want to copy a certain answer and show it to everyone. I am obsessed with distinguishing Buddhism.

Tao, because you treat Buddhism and Tao as the supreme existence, but if it is just that, it will limit your imagination to speculate on the ultimate unknown.

Regardless of whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, as long as you have a little understanding of it, you will easily find some contradictions, because in the process of its development, people continue to add private goods, so it is better to have no books than to believe in books.

I respect the wisdom of the originators of these two schools, but I don’t agree with all the writings of later generations. This is my attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism. I hope everyone will focus more on criticizing the book’s views on heaven and life.

Instead of worrying about whether you should be more like the Buddha or the Tao.

The Buddhists believe that everyone is a Buddha, and the Buddha said that he was just an enlightened being, so you can speculate on the ultimate unknown by yourself, and maybe that is the way to enlightenment.

Hehe... I saw some website comment sections talking about the topic of my incompatibility between Buddhism and Taoism. I happened to see a post under an article today that touched me, so I wanted to talk about my attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.
