Welcome!

For most of us Taoism is only a religion like many others. Very few know that Taoism has yet another facet - called tao-chia or the school of Tao - which proposes a way of life inspired by the cosmic rhythms. That is the way of unity with the Tao.

This way was first described in the famous Tao-te ching (the Classic about Tao and its Characteristics) written by Lao-tzu (the Old Master), the father of Taoism. One may follow this path even today and reach the empty mind, which is the final aim of Taoist disciples.

This site provides teachings on Taoism, its sources, masters, and practices. It includes the study of I-ching (the Classic of Changes) and the practice of emptiness taught by ch'an Master Hui Neng.

Quotes: Alan Watts on Taoism - Certain Chinese philosophers writing in, perhaps, the -5th and -4th centuries, explained ideas and a way of life that have come to be known as Taoism - the way of man's cooperation with the course or trend of the natural world, whose principles we discover in the flow patterns of water, gas, an fire, which are subsequently memorialized or sculptured in those of stone and wood, and, later, in many forms of human art. => more quotes...
