Taoist spirits is the basic for Buddhism.
Taoism says the way you want to reach a perfect life, you shouldn’t start with a greed to try everything., or try something for a little bit but give it up. You spend you whole life trying things, and finally you reach nothing.
The two Tao symbols in Chinese represent the words Head and Leader. It does not mean use your head, or brain to lead, it means that this should be the Head leader in life, the power that leads your life.
If you can understand how this head leader power works, and know how to smoothly follow it, you will enjoy life. If you are blind and aren’t aware of Tao and how this head leader system works you will be against it and this will bring suffering.
The word for Tao in Buddhism is Dharma, however the level itself is different. The Buddhism system of Dharma is more precise and detailed, and more unlimited.
Taoism is more general in explaining this power. So the level of Taoism spirits compared with Buddhism is much lower.
Taoism explains that the whole system of life has a general rule and wisdom behind, and this system and rule behind is important because it is fair towards every life. Makes every life have the chance to become free, it makes every life get the results of their actions and their own cause. The system helps everyone to learn from their own mistakes so the everyone can find the most wisest way to become more and more free.
Dharma and Tao have the power to help every life handle life and reach freedom.
Once you begin to understand the system of life (dharma or Tao) you become what is known as a spiritual trainer.
Those that aren’t aware of the system of life, and just blindly exist in their own lives – not aware of their habits and the power of life are known, according to Taoism, as living ghosts. Buddhism calls this blind action.
