Taoism's Self-Crossing
The self-salvation of Taoism could be reflected in many aspects.

For example, the state of mind should be calm, often reflecting on whether the heart is beating, whether it is happy or angry, and whether it is in a quiet state; The diet should be simple, considering whether it is in line with the season, whether the taste is heavy or not, and whether there is any over-eating; Sleep should be regular and sufficient; If the daily class can be persisted, it should be willing, persistent and happy; Daily work should be moderate, avoid excessive fatigue, so as to achieve a comfortable state. In the concept of Taoist cultivation, one had to first understand oneself and be clear about one's own position, including one's own abilities, needs, goals, and fatal shortcomings. Then, one had to work hard to correct their shortcomings, and then achieve self-salvation through action and practice. According to some of the classic ideas and cultivation insights of Taoism, following the nine tenets of Taoism cultivation, cultivating Tao and cultivating virtue, including the cultivation of inner nature and external cultivation, such as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, treating others with an inclusive attitude (regardless of whether others are good or evil, believe or not, treat them with kindness and faith), and cultivating seriously, it is also helpful to walk the path of self-salvation. In addition, classics such as the Chapter on Enlightenment of Truth also contained the self-cultivation-related thoughts of concentration, body sensation, and comprehension of the Tao method of cultivation. For example, it mentioned that Rao Jun was smarter than Yan Min, and he should not guess until he met a teacher. It also hinted at the importance of self-enlightenment (self-salvation) in cultivation. However, there were also different situations like what Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen, said,"The enlightened will be self-salvation, and the unenlightened will be taught by the teacher."
