Who can attend these courses?

What is your courses intend?
- Much of our interest is in teaching. You may find a great deal on Taoism topics such as tao, yin-yang, wu and wu-wei, and also hints on practicing the Taoist methods of meditation. We also provide teachings on the I-ching (Book of Changes) method of predicting the future events and practice.

What do I need to attend these courses?

What are the advantages of e-mailing?
- You don't need to login to a website in order to access the class. You don't need a personal account or provide your personal detail - thus you may save your privacy. And what is worth, you may study offline too.

Do I need any additional material for studying Taoism?
- Our courses cover all the Taoism topics but you may still want to read the Tao-te ching and the I-ching (Book of Changes). Lao-tzu's Tao-te ching is considered to be the Bible of Taoism - I-ching itself is built on the basis of Tao philosophy of changes, including the yin-yang interplay.

Are there any additional resources and links to complete my study?
- There are some additional papers on Taoism themes here. Also you may want to check out our Chuang-tzu and Master Lu Dialogues. Booth are ebooks intended to illustrate how the Tao wisdom applies to real life. Also you may visit our forum dedicated to Taoism at http://forum.taoism-directory.org.

- Yes. In this respect you should take the self-evaluation tests. The grade scale is A: 85-100%, B: 75-84% and C: 50-74%.

Are there any graduation certificates awarded?
- Yes. We provide a Certificate of Attendance (available only for Initiation into Taoism).

Are certificates awarded as a matter of course?
- No, only on student's request. The concluding of all the three levels of the Initiation into Taoism added to the total of scores acquired for homeworks and self-evaluation tests provide students the opportunity to be awarded a Certificate of Attendance.

Note: Certificates awarded by the teacher are based upon student merit. There is a small processing fee that covers the customization of the certificate. In addition, official awards include a serial number that verifies the authenticity of the award you earned for a lifetime.
