how is the sintua, buddhism, taoism, and even the japanese shinto mingling with each other? i mean not the believers themselves, but rather at the belief's level

as they have tremendous area of overlapping in these few faiths, albeit with slightly different interpretations regarding certain areas

I visited him in last year to seek his fortune telling service, he was using a rather unique way, eg first, you will need to write down your chinese name on a piece of paper, then, he will take that piece of paper and started to draw something, after which he will hold your hands, while looking into your eyes, and start telling you things

his office has a few buddha statues as well as 关帝

when he start to talk to you about your past and future, his face really looks like 关帝

he is benevolent and stern at the same time, funny thing is he let me record the entire session without issues.
