Taoism

What is taoism?

[Sebbi]

Taoism is the path of least resistance.

It started (under that name) as an acient Chinese path, and the first text was the Tao Te Ching (http://www.edepot.com/tao4.html

It is basically about surrendering to the currents that run through your life and fulfilling them.

(www.yakrider.com (http://www.yakrider.com) isn't a bad source. The books I've read on it are [in this order "Tao Paths: Long Life" by Solala Towler, this is about Taoist health; "Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu translated by Steven Michell [hence posting that one, since it is my favorite and I am most biased towards that one] I however have a book of it, with annotations so that makes more sense than the unannoted version; and "The Handbook for the Urban Warrior: A spiritual survival guide" by The Barefoot Doctor, about the practical application of Taoism to your life.)

I hope this helps.

For a quick and basic understanding of it go for the Tao of Pooh.

To put Taoism simply: Just go with it.

[Sebbi]

Or more adequately: Just go with IT

I've read the Tao Of Pooh and I agree - it is a good book to start with. The sequel to that is The Te Of Piglet - I recommend reading that as well.
