Quite a few people enquired this question on me, hoping that I can give them an Accurate and Definite answer.
But, do you think it’s possible for me or someone to give anyone out there a 100% Accurate or “Follow-able” answer? Definitely a NO NO.
Why? It’s simple, by believing in any individual Religion or putting strong Faith into any individual Religion is a very personal and individual action (sincerely out from the Heart/Feeling/Soul). No one out there (Temples/Organisations/Groups/Families/Schools/Departments), can change your opinion or view on an individual Religion.
Once you have put in Faith in one individual Religion or you are strongly committed to one individual Religion, you must not back-out, give-up half way or considered to give-up (regardless of criticism, arguments, being boycott, etc).
Why? Because All Religions (in this World) don’t belongs to any individual one of us (but yet belongs to All of us in this World). If one day, you happen to come across anyone that makes any comments on you, with contents like: “You don’t fit to be a Taoist or You not a Buddhist/etc”, you can just ignore that person or that Group of people. Why? Cos they shall be the one who’re not fit to be part of that Religion.
A Good and Cultivated Religious Follower shall have a good manner/attitude of helping the others, allowing the others to gain the same or certain level of enlightenment as he/she is in (at that moment), and not down-grading or discouraging the others, in-order to climb higher-up or wishing to get Enlightenment before any one of the others (such people show selfishness and low-cultivated mind).
For me, personally, I have come across such people. But to me, all these are not important or have any effects on me, because I’m learning and doing cultivation on my own and not doing cultivation for the others or to affect the others. As long as an individual own, oneself can concentrate and follow what a Taoist (or according to your own Faith) shall do, I’m sure the Deities or the “Boss” up there will know and the credits and merits will be recorded.
For a Taoist, the most important is not to force oneself to believe in certain things or to train on any thing or to accept anything.
For self-cultivation, accept the things that come natural to you or things that a Master/Spiritual passed-down to you. Once you force yourself into learning or attaining certain skills/level, this will oppose the “Nature Law” of the teaching of Tao (yet in this Taoism Society, we can see quite a number of people fighting over certain issues, etc).
In-order to reach a certain level of self-cultivation, oneself must learn to Let Off, Sustain, Care, Filial, Willing To Gain Knowledge, Forgiving, Loyal, Respectful, Hear & See & Feel The Right Thing, etc.
