The relationship between Xuanmen, Daoism and Buddhism
After the creation of the world, there was no distinction between Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning. They all belonged to Xuanmen. Only after the Battle of Gods Investiture did Buddhism and Taoism split up. Xuanmen was the name of the Taoist school, and its roots could be traced back to the description in the Tao Te Ching of Laozi, the founder of Taoism. For Buddhism, this gate was called the Void Gate. Although Taoism and Buddhism were divided into different sects, the teachings of the two had similarities. They taught people to be good, to do good and accumulate virtue, to refrain from doing evil, to pursue all good, to cultivate one's character, and so on. In a sense, the immortals and Bodhisattvas worshipped by the two were essentially the same, but the names were different. In summary, Xuanmen was a name for Daoism. Buddhism and Daoism (originated from Xuanmen) had the same root at first, but later developed separately. Moreover, there were certain connections in many aspects such as doctrines and teachings.

Do you look for Daoism or Buddhism to do your rituals?
The choice of ritual was based on the individual's needs and preferences for himself and his family. If a person paid attention to traditional rules and believed in traditional Buddhist teachings, then asking a Buddhist monk to perform a ritual might be more suitable for them. If a person wanted the ritual to be more personal or innovative, they could consider choosing a Taoist priest to do the ritual. This way, they could better combine their beliefs and the feelings of remembering their loved ones, and conduct a unique ritual for their relatives and friends. In short, whether one chose Taoism or Buddhism, they had to abide by certain norms and procedures, respect culture and rules, and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or problems.
The relationship between Buddhism and Taoism
Buddhism was an ideology that originated from India, while Taoism was a religion native to China. In terms of ideology, Buddhism's main idea was rational philosophy, such as the Four Noble Truths of the "bitter collection and destruction of Tao", which explored the life and death cycle of all things in the world. Taoism was inspired by Taoism, which had the ideas of "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things". The two were originally different ways of thinking, but they both considered the universe, life and death and other major issues. They were logically self-consistent and had certain similarities. From the perspective of historical development, after Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains, it combined Taoist culture (such as the exchange of immortals) in the process of development. The development of Buddhism also stimulated Taoism, prompting a large number of scholar-bureaucrats to participate in the development of Taoism. The figures of the Laozi and Zhuangzi schools were deified one after another. In terms of real-life cultivation, Taoist factions such as Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi Sect had different views on whether Buddhism and Taoism could be cultivated together. In reality, the attitudes of Taoist temples were also different. Moreover, there were people like Master Pu An who were considered to be the three systems of Buddhism, Taoism, and the people, but this was also controversial.

What is the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism?
Taoism and Buddhism were two different ideologies. Taoism originated from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. Its thoughts discussed the natural laws of the Way of Heaven, the natural laws of the Great Dao, quietness and inaction, and the highest goodness was like water. It included the outlook on the universe, the outlook on life, and values. Taoism's Heavenly Dao was the general source of the operation of the laws of all things, and Heavenly Virtue was the nature of heaven and earth to selflessly bless all things. It emphasized that the natural laws of the Great Dao had the characteristics of dualism and unity. The founder of Buddhism was Shakyamuni Buddha, who talked about the outlook on life, the theory of cause and effect, the theory of the Four Noble Truths, and the theory of the Eight Ways of Enlightenment. The two were originally independent. They each had their own set of theories about the universe, the world, people, and the birth and death of all things. However, from a higher level of philosophical thinking, they had some commonalities. They both considered the universe, life and death, and other big issues. They were logically self-consistent. Both originated from rational philosophy and belonged to a philosophical system.

Taoist Xuanmen
Xuanmen was another name for Taoism and metaphysics. From a philosophical point of view, the concept of "mystery" was of great significance in Taoism. For example, in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching,"the mystery is the mystery of all wonders". Ge Hong proposed the proposition that "the mysterious is the ancestor of nature and the great sect of all things". He believed that "mystery" was the mother of all things in the world and the root of the universe. He combined "Tao" and "mystery" to construct the philosophical system of Taoist spiritualism. In the divine genealogy system of Taoism, there were gods with extremely high status and the greatest divine power like the Haotian Jade Emperor. They lived in the Golden Watchtower of Haotian, the Miluo Palace, and were in charge of many affairs of the three worlds. In terms of Taoist cultivation, there were Xuanmen Morning Classes, such as the Three Convertations. At the same time, the Taoist Xuanmen's incantations were also a unique part of its mysterious culture. The incantations were easy to understand and easy to read. They had practical functions such as eliminating disasters, dispelling evil spirits, and protecting oneself. Moreover, the Taoists in the Xuanmen Sect had a variety of images. Some of them did not care about trifles, were forthright and talkative, and their cultivation philosophy was also different. Some emphasized the cultivation of the body and mind to promote Taoist culture, benefit the people, and serve the public. They also believed that religion was not the same as theism." God " could be a symbol of positive energy, such as " spirit, qi, and spirit."
