Can Buddhist disciples read Laozi's classic Tao Te Ching?
There has been a saying that Buddhism and Taoism are the same since ancient times. This statement is also said by many great and noble monks. Actually, this is very wrong. But also violated the precepts set by the Buddha. It is not impossible to read Taoist classics, as long as you don't convert to Taoist classics and follow his practice. There seems to be no difference between what Taoism says and what Buddhism says, but there is a big difference. The highest realm of Taoism is nothing more than Luo Jinxian. Although it is possible to escape from the bad world, you still have to be robbed and reincarnated. This is not even comparable to the sound and smell of Buddhism. Buddhist disciples should not read other heretical classics. Why read those heretical classics that have nothing to do with life and death? Is the pledge of conversion a lie to the Buddha? In ancient times, strict attendance ministers would rather go a long way to get water than drink water from the same river with pagans. We can't be so strict. At least we can do it without reading pagan classics. If you have leisure, you can read more Buddhist scriptures. If you can't stand it, go to the Buddha and save food for the future. This is what a Buddhist disciple should do.
