In China myths and legends, there were many immortals who were considered to be both Buddhists and Taoists. For example, Dipamkara Buddha was originally a Dipamkara Daoist in the Investiture of the Gods. He joined the Buddhist League to cultivate both Buddhism and Taoism. He evolved Zhao Gongming's 24 Sea Calming Pearls into 24 Heavens and successfully completed his breakthrough to become a Great Mana Being. Gautama Buddha was one of the five great disciples of Sect Master Tongtian, Daoist Duobao. After he cultivated both Buddhism and Taoism, his magic power improved greatly and he became the ancestor of Buddhism. Patriarch Bodhi was a mythical figure who integrated Buddhism and Taoism. When he preached, he said,"I will talk about Taoism for a while, and I will talk about Zen for a while. The three schools of Buddhism cooperate with each other." Not only did he integrate Buddhism and Taoism, but he also had Confucian elements. He was proficient in the three spells of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The seventy-two changes he taught Sun Wukong were Taoist spells, and meditation, precepts, and fasting were typical Buddhist techniques. Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West was the Marshal of the Canopy in Taoist mythology. Later, he followed Tang Sanzang to learn from the scriptures and joined Buddhism to become a Buddhist envoy. He was also a mythical figure who integrated Buddhism and Taoism. Guanyin Bodhisattva (Cihang Daoist) was revered in both Buddhism and Taoism, and was considered an immortal and saint related to Buddhism and Taoism.

From different perspectives, there were different views on Buddhism and Taoism. From the perspective of cultural integration and historical development, Buddhism and Taoism were both part of China's traditional Chinese culture. After a long period of integration, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had influenced each other. In history, there were also many places like Mount Heng, the southern mountain, which were holy places for Buddhism and Taoism. Taoist priests ascended here, and eminent monks established sects here. In reality, most people in Taoist temples supported Buddhism and Taoism. Because it was popular to learn traditional culture now, Taoist temples had a wide range of believers. From the perspective of the sect, the Quan Zhen Sect could be said to be able to dual cultivate, while the Righteous Sect could not. However, in reality, the Taoist temple did not strictly distinguish between the Quan Zhen Sect and the Righteous Sect. From the perspective of the practice of specific characters, Wu Yunqing, for example, had been a Buddhist since he was young because his family had been worshipping Buddhism for generations. When he was 18 years old, he traveled around the world while learning Taoist health preservation techniques and exploring the true essence of Buddhism and Zen.

Buddhist cultivation encompassed many aspects. Generally speaking, through a series of practice and learning, one would pursue the benefits of Buddhism and achieve the release and enlightenment of the soul. In terms of cultivation levels, there were primary levels like the Three Sages. From the perspective of cultivation goals, the cultivation level of ordinary believers was at a lower level than that of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Buddha was the highest level of cultivation, followed by Bodhisattva. After Bodhisattva cultivated to a certain level, he could become Buddha after the ultimate test. In terms of specific practice: - Dhyana practice was an important part, which meant the cultivation of the mind. The practice method was mainly based on the Eight Noble Paths, supplemented by the Four Brahmas 'Mercy and Joy, and the Seven Senses. In southern Theravada Buddhism, the dhyana practitioner could choose one of the 40 kinds of practice, of which the meditation of breathing was the most respected practice. The specific operation was to find a quiet place, sit up straight in a comfortable posture, and focus on breathing. Only under the nose or around the nostrils were aware of the breath coming in and out. Through different states such as long and short breath, long and short breath, meditation was cultivated. The Eight Noble Paths include the eight righteous paths such as Right View and Right Thinking. They can be divided into three categories of practice: precepts, concentration and wisdom. Meditation mainly involves the practice of the last three of the Eight Noble Paths (Righteous Dedication, Righteous Mindfulness, and Righteousness). The complete practice of the Eight Noble Paths helps to free oneself from the root causes of evil such as greed, anger, and stupidity. - In some temples, such as Yaqing Temple, female practitioners (Juemu) chanted scriptures, meditated, and studied Buddhism every day. At the same time, they were responsible for the daily affairs of the temple, such as washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, transporting goods, etc. These labor were also regarded as part of their cultivation. In addition, Buddhist cultivation also included repentance, precepts, almsgiving, Bodhi Heart, and other contents. On the level of worldly law, these practices used the good side of the human heart to coordinate secular life and maintain physical and mental health. On the level of worldly law, the theme was "life and death" to solve fundamental problems such as "who am I","where does life come from, and where does death go".

From the perspective of Buddhism, there was no difference between Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism was relatively more grounded. In order to make it convenient for different people, Buddha taught different methods. People with different foundations could learn Buddhism. Taoist classics were not as complicated as Buddhism. People with different foundations could not cultivate Taoism. This was the biggest difference between the two. However, for women, the quality of learning Buddhism or cultivating Taoism depended more on their personal preferences, needs, and the realm they pursued. If one chose to study Buddhism, it was a process of constantly changing oneself and correcting oneself. Through listening, thinking, and cultivating, one would achieve the goal of believing in one's wishes and eventually moving toward the goal of making one's wishes come true, sacrificing oneself for the benefit of all living beings in the world. After learning Buddhism, there might be changes such as being able to reflect on oneself and repent, not doing evil and doing good, having fewer worries and more peace, being able to abide by the precepts and strict self-discipline, and so on, thus becoming a more blessed person. If one chose to cultivate, Taoism had its own unique cultivation system. For example, changing one's temperament from a physiological point of view was different from Buddhism in terms of philosophy and methods. In short, both had their own characteristics. There was no absolute better one. The key was the person's inner heart.

From the reference materials, there were many bad people who were not suitable to practice Buddhism, because even if they practiced Buddhism, they would not change their nature. They would still remain in a bad state. However, there was an understanding of the saying " put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot ". For bad people, this was an expression to stop them from continuing to cause destruction. Putting down the butcher's knife meant great courage and determination to start a new life. From this perspective, it seemed to be a change to good, but it did not mean that they really became a Buddha or a completely good person. Moreover, if bad people could be persuaded and guided to change, in a sense, it would be more useful and meaningful than helping ten good people. However, in general, many bad people had a bad temperament and it was difficult to change themselves through practicing Buddhism. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

From the information provided, there were many characteristics of a dual cultivator of Buddhism and Taoism. On the one hand, from the perspective of the historical figure Tao Hongjing, he inherited the philosophy of Lao Zhuang and Ge Hong's immortal thoughts, and combined the ideas of Taoism and Buddhism, advocating the confluence of the three religions. In his later years, he converted to Buddhism. He set up two halls of Buddhism and Taoism to worship every other day, built the Bodhi White Pagoda, learned Buddhist scriptures from Tanluan, and buried him in the clothes of Buddhism and Taoism, showing his acceptance and integration of the two religious concepts and cultivation methods. On the other hand, Zhang Guiliang, a modern dual cultivator of Buddhism and Taoism, was influenced by his family to study Taoism related content such as Feng Shui and Xiangli.

This reflected the inheritance and promotion of Buddhism and Taoism culture in modern society, as well as the pursuit of spiritual cultivation.
