Thanks Jetsun for the answer.
I'll try to make clearer my point:
From a literal point of view it seems to me that the monastic tradition is stronger in daoism as well in buddhism. However, Cleary in his translations AND commentaries stresses a form of social commitment in the daoist way, a path not isolated (between others point more related with sufism and Shah's approach).
Bruce Frantzis in speaking of daoists living and doing things into the society call them "leftists".
I know that some of you know daoists around the world, so what is their approach? Is there an echo of what Cleary emphasized or is a construction of him?
