I was under the impression that Taoists believed in a soul, immortals, deities and ancestor worship which is very different to core Buddha Dharma. I would have thought therefore that if one was intending to be a serious practitioner that it would have been better to understand one properly to avoid confusion rather than trying to mix and match and practice then both at the same time.

If one is just learning about them for intellectual study purposes of course, then it doesn't matter.

Anyway ,this is the Buddhism for Beginners forum. If anyone wants to further discuss Tao in comparison to Buddhism it should be done in our Comparative Religion forum and not in this one, thanks.
