What gives them the right to act so high and mighty?
Buddhism says: All beings have Buddha nature, and anyone can become a Buddha!
Taoism doesn’t just care about your heart. It also cares whether you have a connection to the Buddha.
Taoism teaches: If someone insults you, insult them back. Otherwise, how can you banish your inner demons and cultivate the Dao?
It also teaches: If you have a grievance, settle it; if you have a grudge, repay it. Even if you have to pursue someone for a thousand miles, taking revenge is a way of saving them and dispelling their karmic burdens!
So if you refuse to be reasonable, this poor Daoist knows a few moves. And if I hurt you, I also happen to know a little medicine!
