Taoism arose in China shortly after the arrival of Buddhism. Many of the beliefs, such as reincarnation, are similar. Taoists say they believe in all the Buddhist gods, but Buddhists do not believe in all the Taoist gods.
Both Buddhism and Taoism have philosophical branches that are essentially not theistic, as well as religious branches. At a superficial level, Buddhist and Taoist temples are generally quite similar. Both religions have traditions of sacred caves, particularly Taoism. Buddhism is noted for its monumental statues of the Buddha.
A major difference in the two religions is that Tao priests are relied on to foretell the future and provide guidance for future actions.

well and in the chapter you are reading is vocabulary used in that
chapter giving definitions. So, I suggest you get to work using a Venn diagram.
