Daoism you refer to is quite different from Daoism of Lao-tze and Chiang-tze. The former has the definite concept of heaven and god while the latter is devoted to the ever-elusive way of nature, Dao. No deities, nor heaven nor hell.
I did not know that it was inspired by Manicheism.
There is also a religious idea spread in both directions, this time, from India. The concept of vampire was said to have originated in India. It spread to the West, resulting in all these familiar Balkan vampire myths. It also spread to the East. Chinese folklores feature a "walking dead", pale as a corpse and with blood dripping from its mouth, never allowed to die and take the final rest.
I am very interested in the information on vampire traditions you mention. Believe it or not I am writing a vampire novel on the side, which is one reason I do the historical research I am. My story involves a vampire-worshipping cult with a branch in India, which as you may know is also where the Rom ("Gypsies") of the Balkans are believed to originate; I'm planning to tie some Indian and Balkan traditions together in that way. I'd be interested in any more information or references you have on Asian vampire traditions and their parallels with Balkan traditions. Here is one site I've found useful:
