    Welcome!

Lao-tzu - the father of TaoismThis site is designed to teach you the Tao. We offer information and resources on Tao and Taoism. You may start by reading our papers and articles classified by sections such as what is Taoism - dealing with the description of Taoism -, what are the Taoist sources, and short introduction to most of them.

The masters section, that is, Lao-tzu, Chuang-tzu and Lieh-tzu, includes biographies, works and quotes from them. The basic concepts such as Tao, Te, Yin-Yang, Emptiness (Wu) and Nondoing (Wu-Wei)  are also dealt with. There's also a bookstore listing a selection of the most recommended Taoist books, such as the Tao-te ching.

Much interest is shown in the I-ching (Book of Changes) - we explain what this book is and how you may predict the future events through it.

The course section of the site provides further support to people intending to study Tao and Taoism further. The Taoist Practice addresses people willing to apply Taoist teachings to their everyday life. The abstracts section comprises some excerpts from the main Taoist works.

Alan WattsQuotes: 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."

Taoist TeachingsTao, Good and Bad

- What is the Tao good for? asked Wu from the Northern Sea. Is it good for food, for ride or perhaps for fighting enemies?

- No, replied the Master of No Concern, it is not goof for any food, ride or fighting your enemies. It is just the Lord of everything so you shouldn't ask about good and bad.
