Hello everyone

[thisisfar]

Hi all,

 

I'm quite new to Taoism but here goes...

 

I recently read Siddhartha and although a text with very much Buddhist roots, it gave me a good perspective on Taoism as I was reading through it.  I've also read the Tao Te Ching (well, a few translations) and this has completely re-shapred my thinking on life as a whole.

 

I've just started reading the Seven Taoist Masters and it is giving me a more practical look at Taoism and how it can be applied on a more daily basis.

 

I am greatly interested in bringing concepts from Taoism into my life, and feel like I am already making great moves towards this.  Hopefully this forum should serve as a good place for me to gain knowledge as I'm lacking a more formal setting where I live in Scotland (previously a Londoner).

 

Anyway, I hope to get to know everyone a bit better as I progress through my journey and I wish everyone the best.

Hi Dylan,

 

Sounds like you are making great progress.  Yes, I too like to talk about how Taoist philosophy helps me live my present every-day life.
