Hi I think this will be my last post here, and I was wondering what are some of the differences between taoism and buddhism? thanks.

I like to think that for a Buddhist, life is suffering and for a taoist, life is fun. So the Buddhists want to get out of it and taoists want more of it.

 

That's just my own home brew philosophy on it and I'm likely quite mistaken.

I thought this, mainly at Michael Winn's prompting, but for a while now, all the happiest people I've met have been buddhists.

 

The distinction, nowadays, and the reason why what you say is often true, is, imo, that most taoists inhabit their bodies, or try to, and most buddhists don't.

 

But it doesn't have to be so.

 

Big bouncing buddha bodies bring best benefits!
