Taoism advocates pursuing real life, while Buddhism advocates abandoning the pursuit of realistic material, paying attention to spiritual cultivation and longing for the afterlife.
Taoism advocates taking life as truth and pursuing longevity and immortality. Taoism believes that human life is composed of vitality, and the body is the residence of the spirit. If you want to live forever, you must cultivate both form and spirit, that is, you must have the kung fu of "internal cultivation" and "external cultivation".
Contrary to Taoism, Buddhism advocates "no life" and thinks that reality is the suffering of all beings. People can't do anything about reality, they can only endure it. To endure, we must give up all kinds of desires and pin our hopes on the afterlife.
It can be seen that Taoism advocates pursuing this world, while Buddhism advocates abandoning the pursuit of realistic material. Generally speaking, the problem to be solved by religion is the ultimate concern for a person's spirit.
Buddha, sleep also. In the final analysis, it is an understanding of the bitterness of life. Buddhism believes that when you truly realize that life is bitter, you will "realize". And this kind of suffering is endless, in an endless cycle of life and death.
Taoism generally holds a positive attitude towards life. This is the biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism and even other religions. The secret of Taoist practice says that "becoming immortal with adults, completely reversing yin and yang" is the way to become immortal in Taoism.
Buddhism originated in India, and Taoism originated in China. The purpose of Buddhism is to practice Buddhism, and then hope to give birth to Buddhist relics and enter the world without reincarnation. Whether it has entered the non-reincarnation world is theoretically impossible to demonstrate.
The aim of Taoism is immortality (or immortality), which can be demonstrated by chronological records or people's own eyes. From this perspective, I personally think that Buddhism is a pure religion, while Taoism is not a pure religion. Taoist cultivation of immortals is a natural and life science, such as human meridian theory, qigong, martial arts, Chinese medicine and so on.
Buddhism has no the twelve meridians theory, mainly seven rounds of theory, which is completely different from Taoism. Buddhism originated in India, mainly yoga and meditation; The posture of Wushu is also very different from that of China Wushu. Taoist martial arts qigong is varied, including hard qigong, soft qigong, internal boxing and external boxing.
Wushu originally came from Taoism, not the so-called Shaolin (Buddhist holy land). Wushu came from all corners of the country. If Dharma's seventy-two stunts are all later generations, the most obvious one is the acupoints in the seventy-two stunts. Acupoints are the product of Taoist meridian theory, and Buddhism has no meridian theory at all.
When Buddhism was introduced to China, monks had no martial arts at all. They only practiced Zen and waited for some magical powers after qigong, and only monks have such magical powers. Even now, only a few Buddhist temples know about martial arts, and there is basically no martial arts schedule, while Taoist temples generally have martial arts schedules.
This is probably the difference between Buddhism and Taoism.
