Journey to the West was an ancient novel that involved a confrontation between masters of Taoism and Buddhism. In the novel, the masters of Taoism and Buddhism all showed their strength, but the final victory depended on various factors such as combat strategy, skills, weapons, and so on. In the novel, the final outcome of the showdown between the ten masters of the same level of Taoism and Buddhism was as follows: The Taoist Taishang Laojun finally defeated the Buddhist Sun Wukong because Taishang Laojun had more powerful strength and skills while Sun Wukong was just an ordinary immortal. The Buddha in Buddhism eventually defeated the Jade Emperor in Taoism because the Buddha had greater wisdom and magical powers, while the Jade Emperor was only a symbolic character. 3. There are also some victories and defeats between Taoism and Buddhism. For example, the Buddhist monk Tang Sanzang defeated the Taoist Sun Wukong, but the Buddhist Sun Wukong defeated the Taoist Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. In some battles, Taoism and Buddhism also showed the power of cooperation. For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism and Taishang Laojun in Taoism defeated evil monsters together. It should be noted that this was only the plot in the novel. In reality, the strength gap between Taoism and Buddhism was very large, and it was difficult for a confrontation between masters of the same level to occur.
