[QUOTE=kfson;987350]Have you noticed a different approach in kung fu and life between these two peoples and more specifically to the people who post on this forum?
Yes, I know there is a mixture.[/QUOTE]
A very interesting read is: Buddhism and Taoism Face to Face: Scripture, Ritual, and Iconographic Exchange in Medieval China by Christine Mollier.
Ch’an is kinda like the Chinese “Tao-ization” of Buddhism;
or as they say, “That was Zen, this is Tao.”

labels, labels, labels… all are labels… labels only stick if you allow them to.

Ah, thanks, will read!
In Forbidden Kingdom, isn’t Chan a Daoist and Li a Buddhist? Do you think the characters would be any more believable if the roles where reversed?
Do you think Chan would have been a better actor for Li’s character in Tai Chi Master?

Are there any Chinese jokes about a Daoist and a Buddhist like:
A Protestant minister, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish rabbi were caught in and elevator… ?
[QUOTE=kfson;987552]Do you think Chan would have been a better actor for Li’s character in Tai Chi Master?[/QUOTE]
No! Jackie doesn’t have the tai chi training Jet received and his movements, while graceful, are of a different quality than a person as schooled in tai chi as Jet Li.

That is not consistence with both the Zen and Tao at all.
It is capitalismfu that turns the wheels of the present society!
Daoism and Buddhism is just another 'ism in the greater scheme of things.
