There are lots of resources on the web to look at it from a broader perspective. Good luck with your search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Procurator Posted November 19, 2007 Â Â i basically have one question. what [IS taoism in todays world. . i whant to know is how it fits in with todays world. Â thanks the wind rider it does not. if somebody says to you that his "taoism" fits one thing or the other, then that is a fake taoism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Procurator Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) that if some ones taoism fits in somewhere in life thats its not true taoism ok. life's end is death, dao's end is life. life is uncompatible with death. if taoism is made to fit your life it means it is dead. that is why daoists cal ordinary people living dead. read up on your Dao De Jin.
