What is the difference between Buddhism and Taoism?
Explain it from one angle and see if you can understand it:

Buddhism is a religion that originated in India. Buddhism advocates dealing with social contradictions with kindness, doing good with kindness, and correcting people's mistakes and sins from the perspective of probation. The theory of Buddhism is retribution, and everything is rewarded, from good to good, from evil to evil. You'll get what you do. In terms of health, Buddhism advocates nourishing the heart, being calm and generous, and eliminating distractions, which will maintain a good attitude and be of great benefit to health.

Taoism is a religious belief that originated in China. Taoism advocates order, acts according to order for good, and does not touch the public interest and moral bottom line. As long as a solution is found, Taoism pays attention to solving problems. Taoism always cares for the good and gives good results; For evil, Taoism punishes them mercilessly to maintain order. He firmly believes that evil will be rewarded, otherwise it will harm the public, so he will spare no effort to see it. In terms of health care, Taoism advocates Taoism, and the way of health care is strongly advocated by Taoism. Medicated diet, exercise and ritual are the methods, while Tai Ji Chuan, Qigong and spiritual strength are the methods of Taoist health preservation.

To sum up, Buddhism punishes and eliminates evil through influence, and does not hesitate to sacrifice itself to influence others, nor does it preach evil, or does not treat evil with evil. Buddhism believes that there will be reincarnation of good and evil retribution, and it will take time to get good and evil retribution, which may be the next decade or the next life; Taoism not only promotes good, but also punishes evil. It emphasizes evil, and it must be evil against evil. What Taoism does is to do evil in time and repay it immediately.

This is my own understanding of Buddhism and Taoism in the process of contacting masters and believers for many years, for reference only.
