In this way, the Tripitaka is very significant to adherents of Buddhism as it provides a clear set of expectations of the adherent of the religion as well as providing a guide to the teachings of Buddha. An example of this can be seen through a quote of the text (see appendix A), where it explains how Tanha is the cause of Dukkha. Many similar explanations are seen throughout the Tripitaka. The Tripitaka is also a very significant text as it represents the connection between the present monks and adherents of Buddhism to those of the past. This is significant to adherents of the religion as the text ensuring that the essence and facts of Buddhism do not alter over time, as they are clearly written within the Tripitaka.
Daoist stressed what their leader Laozi named, 'the way' and thought that with a restrained and balanced life one could ultimately reach a full understanding of and unity with the universe. Buddhists did not, they believed that throughout the meditation and improvement of one's inner balance a person could achieve a higher state of being for each lifetime reincarnated. For Daoists, balance and harmony with nature was simply a way of finding the path to ascension into a more ultimate ending of being with the world. Buddhists progressed constantly thought many lives improving, until 'Buddha' or meaning “awakened/enlightened one.” Daoism focused on a stipulation of “doing nothing,” which did not refer to inaction but instead to the natural flow which is continuous and perfectly synchronized and in balance. Buddhists achieved their end path after all suffering was endured and one has come in control of every action and thought, only then could the ultimate happiness and paradise in nirvana be reached.

Having her green card meant that she could travel to different, different places in the world that she wanted and then come back to a job that pays well and which she does excellent in. so not only did she not make being a immigrant affect her.
