is it possible to follow Buddhism and Taoism?

Yes it is. Most of the Zen branch of Buddhism has been mixed with Taoist philosophy. Mostly Chinese Zen traditions.

From what I've read, they're both pretty related both hold morals to be of high importance. Not sure if this is the place to ask but I've always been interested in Eastern philosophies/religions so I'm trying to find whats right for me, or maybe even a balance of multiple beliefs/studies.

Teep,

The Mahayana forum is the best place to ask any questions about Zen/Dao or any other Mahayana tradition you like to explore.

Also we have the Comparative religion is for comparing other religions with the teachings of the Buddha and the General Buddhism is for debate between all Buddhist traditions.

To try to find what is right for you is very important. I changed from Zen to the practice of the teachings that are given in the Pali Canon texts by Gotama Buddha.

Give yourself some time to explore which are the teachings that resonate deeply with you.
