Daoism and Buddhism

Daoism and Buddhism usually got along. Their secret was less that they liked each other personally and more that they knew how to be around each other. When they met, they spoke only as far as they had to. If one of them saw something of note, they would simply point. They knew by the tilt of the other’s head whether there was anything of note to hear. If nothing was of note, they sipped their tea and simply let their breath be their answer to the world.
