Would you consider Philosophical Taoism and Buddhism to be at odds? Despite both having the embracement of transedence via humbleness, they seem fundmentally at odds due to how each deals with the embracement of life. One argues for swinging the bottle back and enjoying all of life, including the bad, while the other argues for abstinence and ego death. One preaches that all will be and is fine, the other preaches of an order that takes effort to reach which will not reign supreme without effort.

Would you agree with this understanding? It seems to me Taoism is the embracement of life while Buddhism is the renunciation of life.

I expected this to be way too cryptic and complicated. It's surprisingly simple (in a good way). Is the I Ching the same?
