102. Taoism The primary religious figures in taoism are Lao Tzsu and Chuang Tzu, to scholars who taoism encourages working with natural forces, not against them. http://mcel.pacificu.edu/as/students/vb/Taoism.htm

Taoism The Tao is the natural order of things. It is a force that flows through every living and sentient object, as well as through the entire universe. When the Tao is in balance it is possible to find perfect happiness. The primary religious figures in Taoism are Lao Tzsu and Chuang Tzu, two scholars who dedicated their lives to balancing their inner spirits. Lao Tzsu claimed that the Tao defines translation, that it simply is. Taoism encourages working with natural forces, not against them. Taoism teaches the path of wu-wei - the technique of mastering circumstances, not trying to control them. Teachers of the Tao often use examples of the bending reed or grass blowing in the wind to illustrate this important point. A Taoist would encourage an individual to work with their obstacles and problems instead of fighting adversity at every turn. The most common graphic representation of Taoist theology is the circular Yin Yang figure. It represents the balance of opposites in the universe. When they are equally present, all is calm. When one is outweighed by the other, there is confusion and disarray. The Yin and Yang are a model that the faithful follow, an aid that allows each person to contemplate the state of their lives. Taoists believe that nature and the earth is constantly in flux. Simply, the only constant in the world is change. When individuals learn that growth and movement are natural and necessary, they can become balanced. Reality is perpetual change.

103. United Communities Of Spirit A brief look at taoism by Dr. Douglas K. Chung. http://www.origin.org/ucs/sbcr/taoism.cfm

World Scripture Interspirit SourceBook Lightweavers ... Become a Member TAOISM: A PORTRAIT by Dr. Douglas K. Chung Professor at Grand Valley State University School of Social Work, Grand Rapids, Michigan Li Erh (6th century BCE) commonly known as Lao Tzu (the Old Master), was a contemporary of Confucius. He was the keeper of the imperial library, but in his old age he disappeared to the west, leaving behind him the Tao Te Ching (Book of Tao and Virtue). Taoism derived its name from this profoundly wise book, only about 5,000 words in length. It can be used as a guide to the cultivation of the self as well as a political manual for social transformation at both the micro and macro levels. The philosophy of Taoism and its belief in immortals can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor, Huang-Ti. That is why Taoism is often called the "Huang-Lao" philosophy. Taoism believes "Tao" to be the cosmic, mysterious, and ultimate principle underlying form, substance, being, and change. Tao encompasses everything. It can be used to understand the universe and nature as well as the human body. For example, "Tao gives birth to the One, the One gives birth to Two, and from Two emerges Three, Three gives birth to all the things. All things carry the Yin and the Yang, deriving their vital harmony from the proper blending of the two vital forces." ( Tao Te Ching , ch. 42) Tao is the cause of change and the source of all nature, including humanity. Everything from quanta to solar systems consists of two primary elements of existence, Yin and Yang forces, which represent all opposites. These two forces are complementary elements in any system and result in the harmony or balance of the system. All systems coexist in an interdependent network. The dynamic tension between Yin and Yang forces in all systems results in an endless process of change: production and reproduction and the transformation of energy. This is the natural order.

Taoism (6th Century BC) General Information Tao means 'the Way' or 'Way of Life.' Lao - Tse is the supposed author of the Tao Te Ching, a small book containing the main tenets of Taoism. The book is divided into two parts, the Tao and the Tek, and is subdivided into 81 chapters. He was a contemporary of Confucius, who visited him several times and who was deeply impressed by the spirituality and humility of Lao - Tse. 'All things originate from Tao, conform to Tao, and to Tao they at last return.' Lao - Tse taught a belief in transmigration of souls, which got absorbed into Taoism, Confucianism and the other Eastern religions as reincarnation. Where Confucianism is rather practical, Taoism is largely negative in its teachings and emphasizes pacifism, mysticism, and the importance of non - activity. Taoism taught its believers to cast aside worldly pleasures, honors, and glory and to be content with their lot. Later on, Taoism came to be a religion of spirits and ancestor worship far removed from the original simple teachings. A priesthood arose, shrines and temples were erected, and an elaborate system composed of magic, charms, and spells was developed.

The nameless was at the beginning of heaven and earth; the named was the mother of myriad creatures." Tao Te Ching Taoism (also spelled Daoism ) is based on the teachings of the Tao Te Ching , a short tract written in the 6th century BC in China. Its emphasis on spiritual harmony within the individual complements Confucianism's focus on social duty. These two great Chinese belief systems were founded at about the same time and continue to exist side-by-side in today's China. There are two main strands and schools within Taoism, usually labeled "philosophical Taoism" ( Tao-chia ) and "religious Taoism" ( Tao-chaio ). Scholars now say the two are not as strongly distinguished as once thought, but the former generally focuses on the philosophical writings of Lao-Tzu, Chuang-Tzu and other early mystics while the latter emphasizes religious rituals aimed at attaining immortality.

Taoism, unlike other religious traditions has no single origin, like Christianity or Islam. There are two distinct sources for Taoism: One, the philosophers of the Civil War period (403-221 BCE) who followed a Tao or way of nature instead of following the Tao of society. Second, The shamans and magicians who, since the Shang Dynasty (1700-1100 BCE) played a significant role in the life of the ordinary Chinese population (Hubbard 25).

"13 Chapters on Celtic Taoism" by Frank Allen A short introduction to the book - and - the Idea CELTIC TAOISM is founded on the idea that all seperations exist only for the potential of union. The blending of the basic philosophy of Northern Asia with the root culture of Northern Europe shows the syncretic harmony which exists, inherently, in ideas from the oppposite ends of the earth. This represents the, all important, potential for the unity of humankind. An idea that may be essential to the continued existence of man. Seperation, in a time of overpopulation, can only lead to chaos. Unity, with respect for Individuality, can lead to evolvement, instead of following chaos into extinction. "The Thirteen Chapters" are only the foundational guidelines, which are devised to provoke thought and commentary. They are as follows: The Birth of a Sect; explains the beginnings. Why Celtic Taoism?; answers the basic question. shows the Yin and Yang of East and West.

TAOISM by Fritjof Capra Of the two main Chinese trends of thought, Confucianism and Taoism, the latter is the one which is mystically oriented and thus more relevant for our comparison with modern physics. Like Hinduism and Buddhism, Taoism is interested in intuitive wisdom, rather than in rational knowledge. Acknowledging the limitations and the relativity of the world of rational thinking, Taoism is, basically, a way of liberation from this world and is, in this respect, comparable to the ways of Yoga or Vedanta in Hinduism, or to the Eightfold Path of the Buddha. In the context of Chinese culture, the Taoist liberation meant, more specifically, a liberation from the strict rules of convention. Mistrust of conventional knowledge and reasoning is stronger in Taoism than in any other school of Eastern philosophy. It is based on the firm belief that the human intellect can never comprehend the Tao. In the words of Chuang Tzu, The most extensive knowledge does not necessarily know it; reasoning will not make men wise in it. The sages have decided against both these methods. Chuang Tzu's book is full of passages reflecting the Taoist's contempt of reasoning and argumentation. Thus he says
