The ancient Greeks viewed the human body as a tomb in which the soul is imprisoned. The Upanishads gave the promise of immortality to those who renounced the illusory world of maya. The Taoists, on the other hand, put their attention into how to live in this world rather than prepare for another one.
That's why chinese care for longevity.
But funny enough how the Taoist spend so much time doing rituals trying to get rid of the "negative" or "yin"
