The central idea of ??Buddhism is the Four Noble Truths: suffering, origin, cessation, and path. Everything in Buddhism is based on this. The Buddhist Sakyamuni discovered that all suffering in life is suffering. In order to reach the realm of cessation of suffering (Nirvana silence), he discovered through exploration that suffering is caused by ignorance, greed, anger and ignorance, and fully understood the truth of all dharma (the nature of dependent origination, emptiness, no self, impermanence). The emptiness of dependent origination is the philosophical support of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, which is also the core of Buddhism. Sakyamuni's teachings are all inseparable from this.
The central idea of ??Taoism: In the Taoist ideological system, "Tao" is the core of belief, and "morality" is the foundation of Taoism. The two complement each other. The unity of nature and man is the basic state of Taoists, who pursue perfect harmony between man and the universe, man and nature, and man and society. Social harmony is the crystallization of wisdom from this idea. A harmonious society is people's beautiful pursuit of a happy life and the ultimate goal of human social development.
Extended information:
Taoism is a native religion in China, with "Tao" as the highest belief. Taoism is based on the concept of worshiping ghosts and gods in ancient China. It is based on the thoughts of Huang and Lao Taoism and inherited the immortal alchemy since the Warring States Period.
A large number of Taoist organizations appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous ones being Taiping Taoism and Wu Dou Mi Taoism. The ancestral master Zhang Daoling formally founded the religious order, which has a history of 1,800 years ago. Taoism is a polytheistic worship of gods, and the gods worshiped personify the Taoist belief in "Tao". Taoist priests are Taoist clergy, and there are more than 30,000 Taoist priests living in the country.
Buddhism dates back more than 2,500 years and was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince of the ancient Indian state of Kapilavastu (now in Nepal) (refer to Buddha’s birthday). Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India is actually working hard to create an image of a "Buddhist holy land."
