Over the past couple of years I've developed an interest and love for Oriental Medicine. Having just graduated from college, I've decided I'd like to pursue that interest a little further and will be traveling to Taiwan in a month to improve my Classical and Mandarin Chinese so that I can attend an OMD university in China. Along the way, I've come to realize that taoist metaphysics and practice have had a huge influence on oriental medicine and I've concluded that a deep understanding of Taoism will be indispensable to my training as a doctor. I've done some cursory study of Taoism, but I'm looking for more information and, in particular I'm wondering: Does anyone know how to go about living in a Taoist monastery and if any exist in Taiwan or China that could be recommended? Thanks, Will Ceurvels
