What's the difference between God, Buddha and Fairy?

Buddha is a concept in Buddhism, and immortals belong to folk customs. More reference: immortals, broadly speaking, there are five kinds of immortals, namely, immortals, immortals, immortals and ghost immortals. In a narrow sense, immortals refer to immortals and secular immortals. Here we only talk about immortals in a narrow sense, that is, immortals different from gods. The concept of immortals is also purely religious. In a word, it is exclusive to Taoism. No matter whether it is a Taoist or immortal, it is always closely related to Taoism. Fairy is a person who is sanctified in the flesh and has perfect merits. Everything can be immortal. There are two ways to become immortal. The first is passive immortality, which people, animals, plants and even non-living things can do. For example, being touched by immortals, being infected by immortals, taking Taoist fairy medicine, or growing up in an environment that absorbs the aura of heaven and earth can make objects immortal. There are many examples here, so I won't give them. The second is to actively cultivate immortality. "Anyone who has nine tricks can cultivate immortality", so only people and a few animals can cultivate immortality. When you believe in Taoism, actively practice authentic magic, do more good deeds, and those who are destined can cultivate immortality. But it must be an authentic magic method. If you practice the side door, even if you succeed, you can't become a fairy road, only a demon. After becoming an immortal, if it is not officially recognized, it can only be regarded as scattered immortals, and it has not entered the real stream, but it is already a happy and immortal body. If it is officially recognized, it will enter the true stream and become a true fairy. At this time, you can choose to be an official or not. After all, you are a fairy who is self-cultivation and refuses to obey the jade emperor. At this time, you can find a famous island in Xianshan, entertain yourself, play chess, drink and visit friends all day, and have nothing to do, listen to the Buddha's lectures and be in the world. It was really fun! God, the concept of God is not religious. Different from Buddha and immortal, God is a concept of faith and a concept of system, so we should pay attention to it. We don't talk about the ancient gods here, only the gods of later generations. Some ancient gods, such as Nu Wa, * * Gong, Zhu Rong, Xingtian, etc., are all born gods of nature, which are strictly different from the so-called gods of later generations, commonly known as great gods or ancient great gods. The five immortals in a broad sense are gods and ghosts of heaven and earth. The immortals mentioned above refer to the two immortals of heaven and earth, and the immortals mentioned here refer to immortals and ghost immortals. God is a person who works in heaven or hell after death. Please note that after death, the implication is that God must have been formed after the death of his soul, and he didn't take his mortal body with him, but generally worked in heaven. For example, the last one on the list of gods is God. People who become gods don't need a religious background, study and practice related religious classics, and don't need to be a Taoist or a monk. As long as you are predestined, or a very good person among the dead, or a person who has done more good deeds, or a person who is respected by the people on earth, you may be sealed as a god by heaven after death and serve as an official in heaven or hell. For example, Bao Zheng, Wen Tianxiang, Guan Yu and others in later generations did not believe in the truth or practice. Because Shi Yang had great influence and was excellent, they were absorbed as gods after their death. Therefore, the concept of God is not a pure Taoist concept, which is different from the immortal Buddha, but it is often ignored by many people. Having said so much above, especially about immortals, it is inevitable to fall into the old-fashioned question of which level is higher, immortals or immortals. In fact, that is to confuse the level of official position with the perfection of practice. The problem with the immortal level is that they have different degrees of perfection and different ways to achieve positive results. One is sanctified in the flesh, and the other is soaring after death. Immortals are indeed higher than gods and perfection. But it has nothing to do with the so-called official positions, such as the Northern Emperor, Mount Taishan Tianqi Renshengdi and other gods, all of which have high ranks, far higher than ordinary immortals, what's more, ordinary immortals have not held public office!
