Difference:

1. Buddha said the afterlife and advised the world to be patient. The so-called sin in this life, the report in the afterlife, is miserable in this life, and it may not be bitter in the next life. Simply put, its purpose is to pin hopes on the afterlife;

Taoism is completely different. The so-called first step of successful cultivation is to live forever. Taoism pays attention to this life, while Taoism believes in immortality. The afterlife is about the afterlife. I won't die in my life anyway.

2. I still need abstinence. I only have Buddha in my heart. After I die, I will sit down and leave the Buddhist relics, and the lotus throne will be reborn;

Taoist priests are not so strict, more practical, have the belief of helping others, pay attention to cultivation, and finally stand out and soar.

Buddhism: Buddhism was founded more than 3000 years ago by Prince Siddhartha of Gautama in Kapilowei (present-day Nepal).

Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world. Buddha means "awakening". Buddha is also known as Tathagata, repentance, enlightenment, clear behavior, good death, worldly solution, supreme teacher, mediator, teacher of heaven and man, and Buddha. Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality. The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to discover the truth of life and the universe according to Siddhartha's practice method, and finally transcend life and death and suffering, cut off all troubles and get relief.

Taoism: Originated in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is a primitive religious form of polytheism. Its main purpose is to pursue immortality, achieve immortality, and help the world and save people. It occupies an important position in China's ancient traditional culture and develops actively in the modern world. Although Taoism has been one of hundred schools of thought since the Warring States Period, it deified the former moral philosophers. Cults didn't appear until the end of the Han Dynasty, and Shi Tian, Yizhou, called Laozi an old gentleman on the throne. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the religious form of Taoism was gradually improved.

In the traditional culture of China, Taoism (including Taoism, witchcraft, etc. ) is regarded as the dominant theory together with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and the method of seeking related practice and cultivation of immortals (longevity and universal benefit). In fact, based on the real world, Taoism also has various positive meanings: Taoism is natural, cherishes life and natural environment, pursues harmony between man and nature, realizes self-cultivation, prolongs life and achieves immortality. Through self-cultivation, improve the quality of personal life and soul energy, and further contribute to human society. Through certain ways and methods, we can realize the self-control of spirit and body, so as to achieve the realm of "my life is up to me, not the sky", break through the shackles of life and control my own destiny. There are five main ways for Taoism to become immortal, namely, taking elixir of life, external alchemy, refining qi to lead the way, practicing inner alchemy, using Taoist utensils and other rituals and self-cultivation to achieve immortality. Most of the later immortals practiced inner alchemy and practiced morality and Taoism.
