People who believed in Buddhism might go berserk for many reasons. From a psychological and behavior perspective, some people were originally stubborn, one-sided, or overly persistent. They were not in a normal mental state, and there might be deviation in the process of believing in Buddhism. This could be seen as a kind of "Qi deviation" under evil fate. There were also some people who were originally educated in the doctrine of Materialism and Scientism. When they suddenly came into contact with the content of the Buddhist scriptures that advised people to be good, pure, and wise, they were ecstatic. When they were too engrossed in praying to the Buddha and chanting the scriptures, such as being too eager to meditate and recite the Buddha, they did not eat or sleep. They moved their legs to meditate and caused physical damage. Just like the strings of the zither were too tight and easily broken, they were too engrossed and deviated from the normal state of cultivation. In terms of specific Buddhist behavior, excessive vegetarian diet, such as not even touching eggs and milk, may lead to long-term malnutrition. When the body is old, it cannot withstand it, such as severe malnutrition and weak muscle strength. In the aspect of burning incense to Buddha, if one did not pay attention to the ventilation of the room where the incense burner was located, inhaled the volatile matter of burning incense for a long time, and burned too much incense at one time for too long, it might damage one's health due to the accumulation of smoke and dust and the inhalation of harmful substances, such as causing pneumoniosis. When performing a more intense method of worshipping Buddha like the Big Prayer, it might be dangerous for people who were old or had underlying diseases, such as causing cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, frequent and excessive donations to temples were also unreasonable. The family members of some Buddhists would also be troubled by the excessive behavior of the Buddhists. For example, the normal diet of the family members would be disrupted, and their lives would be disturbed by excessive religious behavior. These could be regarded as the extreme state of Buddhism, similar to the state of Qi deviation.
There might be several reasons why a Buddhist would go crazy in the end: First, there were some unhealthy psychological or personality traits that were "sick" and believed in Buddhism. For example, people who were stubborn, one-sided, or very persistent in their thoughts had psychological problems even if they did not believe in Buddhism. Secondly, when learning Buddhism, one's heart was too strong. If one was affected by the huge change in the concept of education in the past, from the philosophy of struggle, realism, and Scientism to the concept of kindness, purity, and wisdom in the Buddhist scriptures, one would be ecstatic and cry with joy. One would be overly invested in the practice of worshipping Buddha, chanting scriptures, meditating, and chanting Buddha. For example, some people would not eat or sleep when chanting Buddha. When they were meditating, they would forcefully break their legs and cause injuries. They did not grasp the principle of moderation. Just as Buddha said in the scriptures, practice was like tuning the zither. If it was too tight, it would break the strings, and if it was too loose, it would not make a beautiful sound. Thirdly, there might be negative karma, unjust debts, and other factors. When some people converted, they often wanted to commit suicide and went crazy as soon as they chanted the scriptures. It might be because some unjust debts did not want them to get rid of it through chanting the scriptures, so they retaliated and caused them to chant the scriptures and go crazy. However, if they could live with their masters for a few days, recite the scriptures, go to the temple, and live together, this phenomenon might disappear.
This statement was not accurate. In the teachings of Buddhism, the principle of karma was one of the basic doctrines. It emphasized that good and evil were rewarded, and good and bad were caused by karma. People who believed in Buddhism often held reverence for karma. They believed that good causes would lead to good results, and evil causes would lead to evil results. Thus, they advocated doing good deeds and making good connections. They treated all living things with compassion, pursued harmony with nature, and cherished living beings, nature, and the living environment. This concept and code of conduct reflected positive values, contrary to the concept of "bad guys." Of course, there might be individuals who violated the doctrine and misbehaved in any group, but they could not be classified as bad people. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

It was inaccurate and one-sided to say that "all bad people believe in Buddhism". From the information provided, some people believed that bad people believed in Buddhism because they wanted to use the concepts of tolerance and forbearance in Buddhism to make themselves feel at ease when doing bad things. For example, when it came to bad people believing in Buddhism, they felt at ease when doing bad things. Some people believed that Buddhism had the concept of saving all sentient beings. Some people who did bad things might want to seek a spiritual release or comfort. However, the community of Buddhists was complex and diverse. There were good people and bad people. Most good people believed in Buddhism from a positive perspective, such as pursuing inner peace and improving their moral cultivation. It could not be said that all bad people believed in Buddhism. Moreover, in a modern society ruled by law, both good and bad people should abide by the law and not rely solely on religious doctrines. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

Buddhism's "letting go" had a rich meaning. From a psychological point of view, letting go meant not being persistent. He was not obsessed with things that did not conform to the laws of nature, bad things, or things of the past. For example, one should not be obsessed with things that go against justice or things that have happened in the past and cannot be changed. Letting go wasn't a negative attitude of not caring about anything or doing nothing. It was a positive mental adjustment to better deal with things and things that shouldn't be let go, just like the expression of " you can take it up and let it go." From the perspective of behavior and cultivation, letting go included letting go of many negative things. For example, let go of greed and give alms, let go of bad karma and keep precepts, let go of slackness and progress, let go of anger and endure humiliation, let go of disorder and meditate, let go of stupidity and obtain prajna, let go of hypocrisy and be sincere, let go of pollution and reach purity, let go of arrogance and realize equality, let go of selfishness and have compassion, etc. At the same time, evil thoughts such as worries, resentment, competition, and jealousy should also be put down. Putting them down could free people. The release here meant that there was no worry and pain in life, no discrimination, and no evil intentions. In Buddhism, it was also called perfection. It was the realm of Bodhisattva and Buddha. From a higher realm of practice," letting go of everything without a single thought " meant that one would not have the heart to create karma and maintain a pure heart without distinction. However, this did not mean that one would not do anything, but one should work harder to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. For enlightened practitioners, it was to practice the Bodhisattva Way and save all living beings from the sea of suffering. For ordinary people, it was to work hard to do the right things that were beneficial to their families and society. In terms of life examples, such as the master and disciple in the story, the master carried the woman across the river and then let go of this matter, but the disciple was always entangled. This meant that if the past was not let go, it would bring trouble. To really let go was to let the past go and not be obsessed with it. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

There might be several reasons for bad people to believe in Buddhism: First of all, bad people may seek comfort and purification. Their bad behavior was often accompanied by inner distress and stress, and their belief in Buddhism gave them the opportunity to seek spiritual comfort and purification, correcting their past behavior through cultivation and the pursuit of kindness. Secondly, they might want to change their outlook on life. Buddhist teachings emphasized compassion, kindness, and cultivation, which was contrary to their previous bad behavior. They might hope to change their concept of life and seek a path to correct morality. Furthermore, the Buddhist concept of karma and karma had an impact on them. They may be aware to some extent that their bad behavior will bring negative consequences. The Buddhist concept of karma and karma allows them to reflect on their past actions and seek to reduce the negative consequences by believing in Buddhism. Finally, Buddhist groups provide a community and support network, which may be an opportunity for them to establish new social relationships and gain psychological balance. By joining a Buddhist community, they can interact with others who seek inner peace and integrity, and seek guidance and support in life. However, it was important to make it clear that these reasons did not apply to all people with bad behavior. Everyone's choice of faith and motivation were personal decisions, and personal behavior and beliefs did not represent the values of the religion itself.

There were several possible situations in which a person who went into "Qi deviation" during the process of learning Buddhism: - ** Personal personality and concept factors **: Some people who are more stubborn, narrow-minded, knowledgeable, or very persistent start to learn Buddhism. This is considered to be a "sick person" who believes in Buddhism. Even if they don't learn Buddhism, they are not a person with a normal mental state. There were also some people who had previously been educated in philosophy, realism, and science. When they suddenly came into contact with the ideas of kindness, purity, and wisdom in the Buddhist scriptures, they would be ecstatic and cry with joy. When they worshipped the Buddha and chanted the scriptures, they would have excessive reactions, such as attacking their hearts too fiercely, or being overly involved in meditation and chanting the Buddha. For example, they would not eat or sleep, or they would forcefully meditate and break their legs. If they were too aggressive, they would easily go to the extreme and become possessed. - Cultivation should be like tuning a zither, neither too warm nor too hurried. However, some people were too tense in the process of learning Buddhism. If they did not grasp the principle of moderation, problems would easily occur. - ** lack of correct understanding **: Some believers pay too much attention to the form and ignore the essence of cultivation. For example, some people are too strict in vegetarian diet. Some people don't even touch eggs or milk, resulting in long-term malnutrition. When they are old, their bodies can't withstand it, which can easily lead to health problems. When they burn incense piously, they don't pay attention to the ventilation of the room where the incense burner is located. They inhale the volatile substances of the incense for a long time. They burn too much at one time and wait too long. Inhaling harmful substances affects their health. Forcefully performing strenuous exercises such as " Big Prayer " regardless of their physical condition, especially for those who were old or had underlying diseases, could easily cause danger. Going to the temple to donate money too frequently and donating almost everything, these excessive behaviors reflected a lack of correct understanding of Buddhism, which could lead to a state similar to " Qi deviation." It should be noted that, from the perspective of modern medicine, some so-called Buddhist "Qi deviation" phenomenon may be related to culture-related mental disorders. If necessary, it should be diagnosed and treated in a psychiatric department.
From the perspective of traditional China culture, Buddhism and Taoism were both part of Chinese culture and could be learned together. In reality, there were also cases of dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism. For example, Mount Heng in the south was a holy land for both Buddhism and Taoism. Taoist priests ascended here, and eminent monks established sects here. There was also an old man in Henan who believed in Buddhism since he was young because his family had been worshipping Buddhism for generations. Since he was 18 years old, he had been learning Taoist health preservation techniques and exploring the true essence of Buddhism and Zen. However, different Taoist schools had different views on the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism. Quan Zhen Sect might approve of it, while Zhengyi Sect might not. However, most people in Taoist schools in reality supported the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, one could also believe in the Dao while believing in Buddhism.

Buddha heart could be understood as compassion, enlightenment, and purity. Even if a person did not believe in Buddhism, having a Buddhist heart meant that he had compassion in his life, sympathized with the sufferings of others and tried his best to help them. He maintained his awareness, was not completely blinded by worldly troubles and desires, could see through the essence of things, and had a certain wisdom and rationality. He maintained his purity, and his heart was not filled with excessive negative emotions such as distracting thoughts, greed, and hatred. In interpersonal communication, with such a Buddhist heart as the criterion, one could treat others with a more positive, healthy, tolerant and kind attitude, which was helpful in building harmonious interpersonal relationships and improving one's own moral cultivation.

In Han Buddhism, there was a particular rule of eating vegetarian on the tenth day of the third month of the year. The third day of the year referred to the first to fifteenth days of the first, fifth, and ninth months of the year. However, there was no specific requirement that Buddhists had to be vegetarian for three days during the New Year (the first to third day of the first lunar month). Therefore, whether Buddhists were vegetarian for three days during the New Year depended more on their level of faith practice, family environment, understanding of Buddhism, and many other factors. Some devout believers might follow the requirements of the third day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, which included the vegetarian diet during the New Year. However, some believers might not follow such a diet restriction due to social reasons such as family reunion or other personal reasons.

Heavenly Venerable Dou Mu was a god worshipped by both Buddhism and Taoism. In Taoism, Lady Doumu was the mother of the stars of the Big Dipper. She was a Taoist god, transformed from the Yin Qi of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and evolved from Lord Taiyi.
