I missed this. Taoism is not Buddhism -- why do you think they are similar? And why do you think Buddhism says that desire is to be avoided? The Middle-path of Gautama the Buddha was created to find a middle ground between extreme Renunciation (no desire) and extreme debauchery (only desire). Which Buddhism are you referring to?
