Taoism say got sanshishen (三屍神) in everyone's body, they are lite record keepers who record ur good n bad deeds/actions/speech/thoughts and report to the judge every 60 days..Buddhism similarly say got 2 record keepers on each person shoulders with a similar function..similarity between both religions is dat dis entities have no power over de person if no bad deeds or thoughts..lite in real life you law abiding citizen de mata wont catch you..bros who see any mistakes pls do correct..
Thanks for sharing. Agree with you.
I was once followers of taoism too. But not tat religious. Simply follow what my parents did and worshipped. I was sill in primary school. We prayed to Sun wukong (齊天大聖). Theres this bottle placed beside the diety. Once a while we could hear a "ting" sound. That means "he" has arrived in our house. Then my parents would light out 3 joss sticks and prayed for peace and prosperity. My parents believe god has arrived and watched over us. As i grew older, getting to know more friends, sharing of religion. I tried Christianity, then followed by buddhism and finally Islam. I am no expert in theology. From my exposure to the 4 beliefs, i discovered there were some similarities. I did ask myself why then there were so many religions/beliefs. Well, i found the answer leow.
As to your above post, Muslims also believe our good and bad deeds in this world are recorded by two recording angels as mentioned in the Quran. Their sole duties are just to record our deeds. Thats about it. Quran:
"Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and private confidences ? Nay, but Our envoys, present with them, do record." (43:80) Az-Zukhruf.)
So come Judgement day, we cant deny and said i did not do this, i do not do that. All are being recorded as evidence and we have to face the consequences, including our belief too.
For your case, you believe in karma. In Islam somewhat similar too. Bad guys may escape and go scot-free from punishment in this world. But dont be too happy hor. In the Hereafter, he will face the Lord. No one can die or answer for your sins.
You reap what you sow.
