Why is Buddhism true?From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, Buddhism contained the Buddha's worldview and the spirit of speculation, reflecting his deep thinking about the laws of the world's bottom. Robert Wright, a professor of evolutionary psychology, used modern psychology and brain science as the theoretical basis, combined with his more than ten years of meditation practice and study of the scriptures, and came to the conclusion that Buddhism was real.
The human brain was the product of natural selection over hundreds of millions of years. This natural selection would mislead and even enslave humans, making them unable to recognize themselves, unable to see the world, and trapped in shackles. This was similar to the result of Sakyamuni's insight into human nature through meditation 2500 years ago. This showed that the spiritual pursuit and moral proposition proposed by Buddhism were not imaginary, but had a certain basis.
For example, in the area of suffering and greed, the Buddha placed the universal existence of suffering in life at the core of many teachings. From a scientific point of view, although eating junk food could bring short-term satisfaction, it would later produce more cravings. There was a physiological logic behind this. By observing the secretion of Dopamine (a neurotransmitter related to pleasure and pleasure expectations) in monkey experiments, scientists found that before the goal was achieved, the pleasure brought by expectations would increase the secretion of Dopamine, and the pleasure after the goal was achieved would quickly fade. This explained the physiological basis of human greed. The fact that humans were always dissatisfied reflected that the purpose of natural selection was to maximize the spread of genes, and happiness was only the bait that drove humans to be fertile. These phenomena were related to the concept of suffering and greed in Buddhism, which proved the authenticity of Buddhism to a certain extent.

Is Buddhism Buddhism or Taoism?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.

Is the unification of Buddhism counted as entering Buddhism?Buddhism's return to one was a concept in Buddhism. It could be understood as an individual returning people or things from the mortal world to the mortal world in the process of cultivation and entering Buddhism. This meant that the individual had the existence of Buddha and all living beings in his heart and no longer pursued the desires of the mortal world. However, the Gui Yi Buddhist Sect was not the same as officially becoming a Buddhist believer. Converting to Buddhism was the first step in Buddhism. One needed to participate in the Three Treasures Conversion Ceremony and receive a conversion certificate. Therefore, the Gui Yi Buddhist Sect was not considered to have truly entered the Buddhist Sect. Converting to the Buddhist Sect was the sign of officially becoming a Buddhist believer.
Well, this novel depends heavily on Buddhism. Even after 1200 chapters (Raw), Buddhism believes are essential parts in the story, I would add “Religion” genre to this novel. The reason for my low rating is that this novel same to be written for Buddhism believers and not suitable for anyone. Not sure why most Chinese writers think that Buddhism is everywhere in the universe!! What a stange way of thinking!
