Val Posted July 17, 2017 Hello everyone, I found this forum with its rich content of information on Taoism. I am a novice on Taoism, and I am interested in the history of the teaching. I hope to learn more from the many discussion on this forum on the history of Taoism, the prominent teachers and the different schools, more than the textual sources/evidences can offer. Best wishes to everyone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
