No matter if it was Buddha, Dao, or immortal, they would not directly cause people to cheat. Cheating or not mainly depended on one's inner moral values, self-restraint, and attitude towards marriage. From the Buddhist point of view, Buddhism believed that extramarital affairs belonged to the category of " debauchery ", which was an unreasonable desire and a moral and ethical error. However, this was also based on the ethical level of Buddhist teachings, not a mysterious force that directly promoted or prevented the occurrence of cheating. There was no information on Taoism that showed that it had a special connection with cheating, and the so-called immortals would not let people cheat. Cheating was mainly controlled by one's inner heart and was a situation of moral restraint. Therefore, one could not judge whether a woman would cheat just because she had connections with Buddha, Taoism, and immortals.

Buddha, Dao, and Immortal were in different systems. It was difficult to directly compare which level was the highest. In Taoist mythology, there were two categories: "Gods" and "True Immortals." Among them, the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Ones, the Five Elders, the Golden Mother Wood Duke, the Divine Firmament Jiuchen, and other innate gods were transformed from innate Dao Qi and represented the foundation of the Great Dao. They were the highest level of immortals. Immortal Zhen was a person who had acquired cultivation. Immortal Zhen was divided into five levels, namely, Heaven Immortal, Immortal, Earth Immortal, Human Immortal, and Ghost Immortal. Some of the Immortal Zhen with profound cultivation could reach the level of "Heaven Immortal", which was higher than some gods in Heaven Realm, but they could never reach the level of innate gods like the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Deities. In Buddhism, the highest ranking Buddha was the Buddha of the Three Worlds, which was further divided into the Buddha of the Three Worlds (the past Buddha was the Dipamkara Buddha, the present Buddha was the Sakyamuni Buddha, and the future Buddha was the Maitreya Buddha) and the Buddha of the Three Worlds (the Sakyamuni Buddha who was in charge of the Saha World, the Amitabha Buddha who was in charge of the Western Paradise World, and the Medicine Buddha who was in charge of the Eastern Pure Glazed World). Those who achieved the positive fruit were divided into Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat from high to low. Since Buddha belonged to the Buddhist system, while Gods and Immortals belonged to the Taoist system, they were in different universes and worlds. Their concepts and cultivation systems were quite different, so it was impossible to directly determine which level was the highest. "If you don't have money, why cultivate immortality?"

Cultivation of Buddha: It was usually understood as cultivating oneself. The self here referred to Buddha nature or self-nature. It could also be understood as a kind of innate consciousness, namely intelligence. It was the true origin of life. Cultivation: It is to achieve spiritual purification, moral improvement, and the strengthening of vitality through physical and mental cultivation. This is an internal cultivation process, focusing on personal moral cultivation and spiritual growth. It emphasizes "Tao follows nature" and pursues compliance with the laws of nature to achieve inner harmony. [Immortal Cultivation: It is more about transcending the mortal world through cultivation, achieving immortality, or even becoming an immortal.] This was a kind of pursuit of external factors. In addition to internal cultivation, it also involved the cultivation of immortal techniques, spiritual spells, and other supernatural abilities. "Who told him to cultivate!"

Believing in Buddhism was a concept related to Buddhism and had nothing to do with Taoism. Buddhism was a religious belief system. Believing in Buddhism meant believing in Buddhist doctrines and ideas, respecting Buddha, and following Buddhist cultivation methods. Taoism was another religion that had developed in China. It had its own independent doctrines, believers, and cultivation system. For example, it respected Lao Tzu, pursued immortality, and cultivated immortality.

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.

There were many differences between Taoism and Buddhism: ** 1. Doctrine Concepts ** 1. ** Awareness of Being and Emptiness ** - Buddhism did not talk about emptiness but Wukong. It adhered to the concept of "emptiness is color, and color is emptiness". It believed that the process of becoming an ordinary thing was surrounded by emptiness and finally returned to emptiness. Being is emptiness, and nothing is emptiness. Zen enlightenment emphasized Wukong. - Taoism didn't understand the concept of being, but rather, it talked about being. In Taoism, there was a way between heaven and earth, and the non-existence gave birth to being. For example,"Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." All things gave birth to being and would constantly change due to movement. Being would always be and would never return to being nothing. 2. ** Focus on Cultivation ** - Buddhism advocated compassion, cultivation of the mind, clarity of the heart, and hope for Nirvana to become Buddha. It pursued the realization of life after death and returned to the Elysian World. Its cultivation focused more on the afterlife. - Taoism believed in this life and advocated the cultivation of the mind and nature. They hoped to become immortals, ascend in broad daylight, and become saints in the flesh. Immortals were the highest expression of Taoism's personality and paid more attention to the results of cultivation in this life. 3. ** The way I treat the world ** - Taoism was more active. It was a multi-theistic religion with strong ethnic colors. It did not have doomsday theory and actively responded to the world to save the world. For example,"Taoists go down the mountain in troubled times and Taoists go into seclusion in prosperous times." - Buddhism talked about karma and placed hope on reincarnation in the next life. It was relatively negative. For example, monks would close their doors to avoid disaster in troubled times and go out to beg for alms in prosperous times. ** 2. Religious Places and Titles ** 1. ** Place ** - In Taoism, palaces, temples, mansions, halls and altars were used by Taoist priests and nuns to worship gods and explain their teachings. - Buddhism regards temples, nunnery, Jingshe and Lanruo as the places where monks and nuns worship Buddha and practice. 2. ** Titles for Gods and People ** - The Taoist god Qian is called Tianzun, God, Great Emperor, Emperor and True Lord; The god Kun is called Yuanjun, Mother, Empress, Concubine and Madam; The guardian god is called Lingguan, Tianjun or Marshal; The god of plague or the god of protecting the realm is mostly called the king, the thousand years or the king. Taoist believers were known as the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, while the high priests were called Zhenren, Mr., etc. The clergymen were called so-and-so immortal officials or so-and-so immortal ministers. They used their names and their surnames, and cupped their hands as a ritual. The ritual was called fasting. When a cultivator's achievements are complete, they are called ascending or transforming. At home, they set up god tablets and ancestor tablets. - In Buddhism, the worshippers were Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, and the protectors were Skanda or Glamas. Buddhist believers call themselves the disciples of the Three Treasures, eminent monks call themselves the Great Monks, male monks call themselves monks, female monks call themselves bhikshuni, male monks at home call themselves Uposai, female monks call themselves Upoyi. Monks use the Dharma name and change their surname to Buddhism, with the ceremony of ten palms together. Their religious activities are called Buddha Seven or Dharma Assembly. They do not worship gods or ancestors. After the completion of their achievements, they will pass away or Nirvana. ** 3. Reflection in the world of Journey to the West ** 1. ** Position in the organizational structure ** - The Dao Sect lived in the celestial heavens, and there were the Three Pure Dao Ancestors (Primogenitor Lingbao, Primogenitor Daode, Primogenitor). The Jade Emperor was the highest leader of the Dao Sect (at least nominally, he was the master of the three worlds). - The Buddhist Sect lived in the Western Spirit Mountain Immortal Realm. 2. ** Power Relationship ** - In Journey to the West, Buddhism seemed to accept the leadership of Taoism, or rather, the leadership of the Jade Emperor. For example, when Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor decreed that Lingguan You Yi and Sage Yi would go to the West to ask the Buddha to surrender. When the Buddha heard the imperial edict, he would go to the rescue. The person in charge of the reception at the foot of Mount Lingshan was the Golden Peak Immortal of Taoism, and the matter of obtaining the scriptures had to be recorded with the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court from beginning to end.

Taoism and Buddhism were two different religious belief systems. They both contained concepts related to "God", but their meanings were different. In Taoism, there were many gods, such as the Three Pure Ones (Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, Heavenly Lord Lingbao, Heavenly Lord Dao De). These gods were an important part of the Taoist belief and mythological system. They were believed to have extraordinary abilities and noble status, and were in charge of different affairs in the universe, such as creating heaven and earth, ruling life and death, and so on. In Buddhism, there were concepts such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. Buddhas were seen as enlightened beings who had transcended the cycle of life and death and reached the highest wisdom and realm; Bodhisattvas were compassionate and merciful, saving all living beings; Arhats were cultivators who had been freed from their worries. Although it was different from the Taoist gods in terms of concept and nature, in the understanding and expression of the people, it was sometimes generally regarded as an existence with divine power. In short, Taoism and Buddhism both had their own systems regarding supernatural existences, but it could not simply be said that "God" only belonged to Taoism or Buddhism.

Drawing lots was a folk custom that existed in both Taoism and Buddhism. However, Taoism and Buddhism had different doctrines and ideas. There was no such thing as a better religion. Taoism was a local religion in China, and it had a unique cultural and philosophical meaning. In the process of divination in Taoism, there were often specific rituals and ways to interpret divination. For example, divination in some Taoist temples might involve the use of specific ritual implements, and the interpretation of divination was related to the teachings of Taoism. Buddhism was also a religion with profound implications. The divination in Buddhist temples was also a way of divination. This was related to the concept of karma and cultivation advocated by Buddhism. However, it should be emphasized that from a scientific point of view, asking for lots was a feudal superstitious act, and there was no scientific basis to prove its authenticity.
