Why do Buddhists and Taoists pay attention to cultivating the mind?
This is related to the concepts of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism:

Buddhism pays attention to spiritual cultivation, which is the most intuitive from Buddhist precepts. The most basic precept of Buddhism is called "Five Commandments and Ten Kindnesses", and its core content is "Do good with one heart and not do evil".

Taoism is based on Taoist theory and emphasizes immortality. Because it is the pursuit of immortality, so pay attention to health.

Confucianism originated from Confucianism which advocated "being an official". Being an official means stepping into the official career, that is, being an official and governing the world. What's more, the Analects of Confucius in the Confucian classics itself contains Confucius' political comments and talks about the way of governing the country.

Therefore, (only in feudal society), cultivating the mind with Buddhism will make the mind accessible, preserve one's health with Taoism, prolong one's life, and govern the country with Confucianism will make the monarch, minister, father, son and son perform their duties in the world.
