I am very new to the Tao, I intended to attend a teaching in London. At the time I just could afford it yet
I do have the Tao Te Ching, as well as the I Ching as well as a few other books to slowly familiarise myself with it.
I did practice Buddhism, Tibetan, for about 40 years. Unfortunately I am still struggling with mediation because there is just too much chanting and mantra recitation in my way.
The Taoist school I wish to follow is the spiritual Taoism. I do not know however if they use mantras and (roseries or malas). If so, I do hope that meditation comes first because from my experience to visualise is harder without a good basis of meditation.
Meanwhile I do watch YouTube videos and read books on Taoism.
