The difference between Taoism and Buddhism
Although Taoism claims to be born out of the world, it is not really born out. If one's own mind is confused, how can it be released? Strengthening the body cultivation method, refining Qi and transforming emptiness, is like a person escaping from prison. The thief nature is not eliminated, and he goes out and comes back in, and he will never reach the end. Why? If one cannot understand the nature of the mind, the mind has not been understood, the ignorance has not been exhausted, the delusions have not been eradicated, and one is lost in form and form, he will eventually return to reincarnation.
Buddhism is neither out nor in, that is, the heart is the Buddha, the essence is the Buddha, separated from the external appearance, separated from the consciousness, no exit, no entry, no coming, no going, so it is called Tathagata, Three Realms Only mind, all things are only consciousness.
Therefore, Buddha is the essential realm, the Tai Chi realm, the true mind realm. This is the awareness and understanding of the original ontology of the essence of space! If it is immovable, it is neither born nor destroyed, neither old nor broken! Just because of being obsessed with the external appearance, one cannot see the inner treasure and cannot see the true face of the original soul which is neither born nor destroyed.
Who do you think is higher and who is lower, a Taoist or an obsessed heretic, obsessed with the world of phenomena? People who don't see their own minds are always obsessed with the world of phenomena. Even if they cultivate to the state of leaving the body for a while, they are just like an escapee. Those who are unrepentant are like mice. They can escape for a while, but they cannot escape forever.
At that time when Ma?jushri was speaking about the Prajna Paramita Sutra (selected), the World-Honored One told Ma?jushri: "Have you really seen the Tathagata now?" Ma?jushri said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, the Tathagata's Dharmabody is itself Invisible, I came to see the Buddha for the sake of sentient beings. The Buddha's Dharma body is inconceivable, formless, neither coming nor going, neither existence nor non-existence. It is neither one nor two, neither pure nor dirty, neither born nor destroyed. The Buddha said to Manjushri, "Have you seen the Tathagata like this now?" Manjushri said to the Buddha: "World Honored One, I really have no vision, and I have no vision."
