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).

The religious practices of Taoism emerged from these ancient philosophies and from Chinese shamanistic tradition; by the 2nd century A.D.

Tune into The New World Order Disorder with Gianni Hayes. Info at "Truth Radio Links" Your browser does not support Java scripts. Please use the site index to navigate. Taoism All in one and one in all? I n the Chinese language the word tao means "way," indicating a way of thought or life. There have been several such ways in China's long history, including Confucianism and Buddhism. In about the 6th century BC, under the influence of ideas credited to a man named Lao-tzu, Taoism became "the way" . Like Confucianism, it has influenced every aspect of Chinese culture. Taoism began as a complex system of philosophical thought that could be indulged in by only a few individuals. In later centuries it emerged, perhaps under the influence of Buddhism, as a communal religion. It later evolved as a popular folk religion. 600 BC: Birth of Taoism Until the arrival of Buddhism in China, Taoism was the chief religious and philosophical system of the population. Confucianism, the other major Chinese tradition, is more a philosophical system than a religion. The origins of Taoism are lost in obscurity. The basis for it is usually ascribed to a mysterious master teacher, Lao-tzu, who is supposed to have written the basic text, also known as the 'Lao-Tzu' or 'Tao-te Ching'. The word tao means "the way," as in the work's English title, 'Classic of the Way and Its Power'. Most scholars today believe this work was not written by one person.

52. Taoism A discussion on taoism. A source of information for deeper understanding of religious subjects. http://mb-soft.com/believe/txo/taoism.htm

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.

Taoism Taoism Taoism Taoism is a genuinely Chinese religion. Some hold the opinion that without understanding Taoism, there can be no understanding of Chinese culture. What is Taoism? History System of Deities Doctrines of Taoism Lao Zi was the creator of Taoism. According to the Shi Ji, or Records of the Historian, by Sima Qian , Lao Zi was named Li Er, with Dan as his alias. He was a reputed thinker around 6th century B.C. There are many legends about Lao Zi but few historical records. He left a 5, 000-word book and went on his ox from Hangu Pass and to where nobody knows! Lao Zi's 5,000 words are rather concise compared to his profound ideological system but there were numerous books interpreting the true meaning of his book. Tao, originally, meant 'road' and then implied 'to rule' and 'principle'. Lao Zi used Tao to propound his ideological system; therefore his school of thinking is called Taoism. At the time Lao Zi created Taoism, it was simply a school of philosophy. It was during the Eastern Han Dynasty that Taoism became a religion. Tao is the origin of the eternal world. It is boundless in time and space. Ordinary people can become gods when they have Tao. Taoism pursues immortality and preservation of health; its uttermost goal is to become an immortal being. Taoism claims this can be obtained through cultivating one's moral character and perfecting one's moral integrity.

58. The Tao Of Surfing A single page sermon on simple taoism. http://facs.scripps.edu/surf/tao.html

The Tao of Surfing From: jmeacham@ants.ci.net (James D. Meacham 3rd) Subject: Sermon: The Tao of Surfing Reply-To: jmeacham@ants.ci.net Date: Mon, 11 Jul 1994 02:47:21 GMT Here is a sermon I will be giving in Boston at First and Second Church in August. I thought it might be of some interest. Peace to all. James Very often the greatest truth and beauty are found in the midst of the greatest incongruity. In response to great suffering, we find people who rise to greatness in the alleviation of that suffering. In the desperate slums of urban india, Mother Theresa does her great work. It's often not in our triumphs where the greatest opportunities for self-knowledge and revelation come, but in our most crushing defeats. It was not the intellectual triumphs in my life that called me o my present vocation, but the despair of defeat and loneliness and homelessness.Similarly we sometimes find the greatest meaning in those things others would thinks us rather unlikely to do. For example, Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of our century, used to go to the movies nearly everyday after their introduction. As one writer put it, The philosopher loved the flicks. He found a joy in the movies that he rarely found in philosophy. Now, when I first saw that ad, I had to think back on weather I'd been talking to any advertising people, since I was sure, given the incongruity of it, that I was the only surfing religious professional in the world. And while I'm not yet ordained, only a seminarian, it's only a matter of time, the coincidence was too strange to be missed. That an advertising agency would think of me and one of my greatest passions as the height of unlikelihood, the oddest thing they could come up with, gives me no end of pride and pleasure.

59. An Analysis Of Dao (Tao) Article exploring the literal and philosophical meanings of the word Tao as it relates to taoism. http://www.hku.hk/philodep/ch/Dao.html

An Analysis of Dao Dao (Tao) is a pivotal undefined term in ancient Chinese thought. The common translation 'way.' is apt in several ways. 'Way' similarly resists definition in English. We can do little more than offer near synonyms that are neither as familiar nor as broad in application. Typically we would to use 'way' in explaining these terms: e.g., 'course', 'method', 'manner', 'mode', 'means', 'practice', 'fashion', 'technique' and so on. These partial synonyms remind us of a second way the translation is apt. We typically talk of ways as ways to act. Ways are intrinsically practical (i.e., prescriptive or normative) and answer a wide range of "what-to-do?" questions. 'Way', however, has a broader use in normal English speech: "The way we were" "Do you know the way to San Jose?" "There is more than one way to skin a cat." "Way to go!" "I am the way and the light." "No way!" The first example reminds us that 'way' sometimes answers a descriptive question. "What actually was done?" We will see below how the evolving theory surrounding dao mirrors the normative and descriptive uses of 'way'. For now, let us concentrate on the more basic guiding role of 'way'. Notice that the fourth example, though referring to the past, is still normative-it is approving of the (descriptive) way you went hence normatively recommending it as a model!

60. Taoism - Ageless Wisdom For A Modern World Ageless Wisdom for a Modern World. http://www.jadedragon.com/archives/march98/tao1.html

Taoism - Ageless Wisdom for A Modern World by Ted Kardash Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophical tradition whose origins extend back to 3000 B.C. The first actual written works to promote the Taoist outlook appeared around 500 B.C. and were attributed to the legendary Taoist sages, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu. Lao Tzu is the author of the Tao Te Ching (The Classic of the Way and Its Power) , currently very popular in the United States with an increasing number of new English-language translations. Less well-known, but equally important to an understanding of Taoism, are the writings of Chuang Tzu. His Inner Chapters are gaining wider attention as is The Way of Chuang Tzu , an excellent transition of selected writings by Christian mystic Thomas Morton. Taoism is organized around several key principles and, like any philosophical outlook, presents a way of seeing and understanding reality. The word TAO itself translates as the Way, or Path. This meaning includes both the way in which we perceive the world around us (how do we make assessments? what are our values?) and also the way in which we interact with life (how do we behave? what are our actions?). The manner in which we perceive reality influences our way of being in the world, our path of action. Taoism's central principle is that all life, all manifestation, is part of an inseparable whole, an interconnected organic unity which arises from a deep, mysterious, and essentially unexplainable source which is the Tao itself. Everything conceivable is contained within this principle. Various Western translators have compared this concept to the idea of God, Universal Mind, or Absolute Reality, to name but a few examples.
