Taoism

What is Taoism?

Taoism (or Daoism) is a philosophical, ethical and religious tradition of Chinese origin that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao (also romanized as Dao). The term Tao means “way”, “path” or “principle”, and can also be found in Chinese philosophies and religions other than Taoism.

History credits Lao-Tzu as the founder of Taoism — a religious tradition centred on the idea of harmony.

Lao-Tzu said:

If you are depressed, you are living in the past.

If you are anxious, living in the future.

If you are at peace you are living in the moment.
