Taoism with the following warning: as all the Taoist writers tell us, it is in the nature of the Tao that it cannot be spoken of. Talking about Taoism in a clear and rational way is, in fact, not to talk about Taoism. Chinese Philosophy Confucius Mencius Mo Tzu Chinese Glossary Tao Tao . This principle gives rise to all existence and governs everything, all change and all life. Behind the bewildering multiplicity and contradictions of the world lies a single unity, the Tao. The purpose of human life, then, is to live life according to the Tao, which requires passivity, calm, non-striving ( wu wei humility, and lack of planning, for to plan is to go against the Tao. The text of Lao Tzu is primarily concerned with portraying a model of human life lived by the Tao; later writers will stress more mystical and magical aspects. But Lao Tzu was, like Confucius, Mo Tzu, and Mencius, also concerned with the nature of government; he believed unquestioningly in the idea that a government could also exist in accordance with the Tao. What would such a government look like? It would not wage war, it would not be complex, it would not interfere in people's lives, it would not wallow in luxury and wealth, and, ideally, it would be inactive, serving mainly as a guide rather than as a governor. There were people who tried to translate Lao Tzu into real political action during the Han dynasty; these were, as you might imagine, spectacular failures. Chuang Tzu (369-286 B.C.) was a real person; his teachings come down to us in a short collection of his sayings. The Yellow Emperor is entirely mythical. This

S ome 1500 years ago in the Hunan province of China, Shao-lin monks wanted to live in isolation, pursuing the peaceful teachings of Buddha. In order to protect their freedom in a land filled with violence, they developed a powerful system of self-preservation. This system was based on the avoidance of conflict and the cultivation of mind, body, and spirit.

63. Taoism And The Taoist Arts A general introduction to taoism and the Taoist Arts of T ai Chi, Meditation, Martial Arts, Herbalism and Traditional Chinese Medicine. http://www.taoistarts.net/

Taoism And The Taoist Arts Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy which promotes living simply and in harmony with nature, and going with the flow. Ancient Taoists believed that by following the natural world, pursuing a strict diet and meditation regime and not struggling with their lot, they could achieve an inner calm, improved health and great martial power. But despite its age, Taoism has a lot to offer the average Westerner and more and more people are turning towards the Taoist arts to help them with questions and problems in their lives. The Taoist masters, often referred to in the ancient texts as 'sages' or even 'immortals' typically studied such topics as meditation, martial arts, herbalism, diet and medicine and often the arts. Though they might seem unconnected, study of all of these topics leads to self improvement on a physical, mental or spiritual level and this is one of the reasons they appealed to the Taoists of old. As 'Taoist Arts' information on each topic can be found in these pages. Introduction Main Concepts Yin and Yang The 5 Elements ...

UCS Forum Vision Our Beliefs Gallery ... Become a Member TAOISM: A PORTRAIT by Dr. Douglas K. Chung Professor at Grand Valley State University School of Social Work, Grand Rapids, Michigan Li Erh (6th century BCE) commonly known as Lao Tzu (the Old Master), was a contemporary of Confucius. He was the keeper of the imperial library, but in his old age he disappeared to the west, leaving behind him the Tao Te Ching (Book of Tao and Virtue). Taoism derived its name from this profoundly wise book, only about 5,000 words in length. It can be used as a guide to the cultivation of the self as well as a political manual for social transformation at both the micro and macro levels. The philosophy of Taoism and its belief in immortals can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor, Huang-Ti. That is why Taoism is often called the "Huang-Lao" philosophy. Taoism believes "Tao" to be the cosmic, mysterious, and ultimate principle underlying form, substance, being, and change. Tao encompasses everything. It can be used to understand the universe and nature as well as the human body. For example, "Tao gives birth to the One, the One gives birth to Two, and from Two emerges Three, Three gives birth to all the things. All things carry the Yin and the Yang, deriving their vital harmony from the proper blending of the two vital forces." ( Tao Te Ching , ch. 42) Tao is the cause of change and the source of all nature, including humanity. Everything from quanta to solar systems consists of two primary elements of existence, Yin and Yang forces, which represent all opposites. These two forces are complementary elements in any system and result in the harmony or balance of the system. All systems coexist in an interdependent network. The dynamic tension between Yin and Yang forces in all systems results in an endless process of change: production and reproduction and the transformation of energy. This is the natural order.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" OM Balamurugan S I am not an orator. I am no writer either. And yet, I attempt to express the inexpressible! Where seekest thou? That freedom, friend, this world nor that can give! In books and temples vain thy search – for thine is the hand that holds the rope that drags thee on! Then cease lament and let go thy hold . - Swami Vivekananda, July 1895 The Quest For every person that starts on a spiritual quest, several would ask why? When we are happy with this world, why do we need to ask these hard questions? Why would anyone perfectly happy with the status quo start on a quest? The seeker is one who is not happy with the explanation of the world (scientific or religious). Because there comes a time when there is abundant joy or acute pain or we are faced with the death of a loved one. Even those that brave through these without asking the Question face the prospect of death someday and ask “Is this world real?”, “was my life real?”, “Is there something beyond this life?”. These questions create a sense of fear, while most philosophies and religions describe death as a “peaceful” process! (Tao says it is the “return to where we came from” – interestingly, this does not contradict with any belief system including that of the atheist or believer!)

70. Zen And The Art Of Divebombing, Or The Dark Side Of The Tao The Dark Side of the Tao a long detailed look at taoism and difficulties of morality. http://www.friesian.com/divebomb.htm

Zen and the Art of Divebombing, or The Dark Side of the Tao In the Bhagavad Gita , Arjuna is taught by Krishna that it is his dharma as a warrior to fight the righteous battle with his cousins and kill them, and that if he kills them without passion or expectation, practicing karmayoga , he can achieve salvation even while he does this. A similar mix of purposes, religious and martial, though with major differences, can be found centuries later with the samurai warrior class of Japan, and with the militaristic ideology that later developed in modern Japan. Although fighting battles and killing enemies would seem to violate the Buddha- dharma , specifically the Precept of the Buddha not to kill, an apparent violation that has troubled many over the years, certain samurai, and later the modern military, ultimately could see themselves as fulfilling a Buddhist purpose in what they did, even in the horrors of World War II in the Pacific. The code of the samurai, later called , the "Way of the Warrior," was in no way a religious duty like Arjuna's dharma , but a connection between religion and battle was made through the way in which Zen Buddhism wedded Buddhist purposes to both the Taoist practice of an art or a craft and, in a historical tradition dominated by a military class, the Japanese "martial arts."
