Cultivation of Immortality

I saw some website comment sections talking about the topic of Buddhism and Taoism. I happened to see a post under an article today that touched me, so I wanted to talk about my attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.

Let’s talk about that post first. The article tells the story of reincarnation and good and evil are rewarded. Someone commented on euthanasia based on the events in the story. The general idea is that people can’t escape until they have suffered all their sins, so they can escape for a while through euthanasia. If you can't escape reincarnation, you will be punished more for it.

In my opinion, this post itself has a logical flaw. How could one know that the person who committed euthanasia did not end his life through euthanasia after suffering all the sins he deserved? Euthanasia is just a new way to end life, just like being hit by a car. Before there were cars, there was no way to die like being hit by a car. With the emergence of cars, God can arrange some people to die. Ended life by being hit and killed. Of course, from a creationist perspective, the emergence of automobiles was God’s arrangement.

Euthanasia is suicide. Several major religions hold a negative attitude towards suicide. There is a deep-seated reason for this. The major religions were born relatively early. At that time, the population was related to the national strength. From top to bottom It is not enough to encourage childbearing. Naturally, we must try our best to prevent suicide, a behavior that will reduce the population. Therefore, whether it is due to the instruction of the ruling class or the consciousness of religious people, use doctrine to deny the behavior of suicide. , and defines it as a sin, which is very easy to understand, and has the same meaning as the preaching that "there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest".

I am not saying this to support suicide, but if someone really lives to the point where he has nothing to live for, my attitude is to respect his choice. Unless you have the ability to help him get out of trouble, forcing him to live may not be good for him. Good thing. To digress, let’s talk about the negative attitudes of several major religions towards suicide to bring out the point I want to express below.

Religion explains the ultimate unknown of mankind, how this world came into being, how we humans came to be, and where our destination is.

Every religion is a guess, or a solution, to these ultimate questions. I think these are the various religions

The essence of religion, rather than something derived from it that serves rule. In the process of development, religion must be taken advantage of by the ruling class and inserted into some ideas and doctrines that are conducive to rule. There is no big religion. Can be an exception. Only by being able to distinguish what is the true teaching and what is the rubbish added to fool you can you avoid becoming an ignorant believer.

At this point, there is not much to say about the debate between Buddhism and Taoism. They are all just guesses or answers to the ultimate unknown. I only have a slight understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, and I think both answers are acceptable. There are also areas where I disagree. What I wrote in the book are my guesses about the ultimate answer. Of course, I came up with these ideas because I stood on the shoulders of a group of giants.

I am self-aware, but when it comes to speculating on the ultimate unknown, I must have the courage to look at those giants with cold eyes. Otherwise, I can only crawl at the feet of a giant and circle around him. I respect Buddhism and Taoism. , I am full of admiration for the wonderful answers given by the sages, but the answers given by any of them are not enough to convince me.

So it goes without saying that I don’t distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism. I don’t think about it at all. The answers given by them are very clear in the classics. I don’t want to copy a certain answer and show it to everyone. The reason you insist on distinguishing Buddhism is because you regard Buddhism as the supreme existence. But if it is just like that, it will limit your imagination to speculate on the ultimate unknown.

Regardless of whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, as long as you have a little understanding, you can easily find some contradictions, because in the process of its development, people continue to add private goods, so it is better to have no books than to believe in books.

I respect the wisdom of the originators of these two schools, but I cannot agree with all the writings of later generations. This is my attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism. I hope everyone will focus more on criticizing the book’s views on the way of heaven and life, instead of worrying about whether one should be more like Buddha or Taoism.

The Buddhists believe that everyone is a Buddha, and the Buddha said that he was just an enlightened being, so you can speculate on the ultimate unknown by yourself, and maybe that is the way to enlightenment.

Hehe... I saw in the comment section of some websites that I talked about the topic of Buddhism and Taoism. I just happened to see a post under an article today that touched me, so I wanted to talk about my attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.

The general idea is that people can’t escape until they have suffered all their sins, so they can escape for a while through euthanasia. If you can't escape reincarnation, you will get more guilty than guilty.

In my opinion, this post itself has a logical flaw. How could one know that the person who committed euthanasia did not end his life through euthanasia after suffering all the sins he deserved? Euthanasia is just a new way to end life, just like being hit by a car. Before there were cars, there was no way to die like being hit by a car.
