81. Taoism- Serenity Found Taoist thoughts and reflections on life. http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Village/3200/intro.html

Find Serenity in the Tao Fill your bowl to the brim and it spills over. Keep sharpening your knife and it becomes blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart tightens. Care about people's approval and you are imprisoned by it. Do your own work, then stand back. This is the path to serenity. I find myself hurrying after things I don't want, and worrying myself about things I don't care about. I have enjoyed discovering Taoism as a way of becoming, spiritual, in the sense of re-tuning myself to the natural way of the world, simplifying my thoughts and my life, and beginning to see a way out of the compulsive, activities that so many people find themselves stuck in. We do these things to avoid looking within, and becoming at peace with ourselves. I wish you the peace that comes from living in harmony with our universe.

Taoism Profile History Beliefs Deities ... Bibliography I. Group Profile Name : Taoism Founder : Lao-tzu Date of Birth : 551 B.C.E. Birth Place : China Year Founded : 440 C.E. Sacred or Revered Texts The most recognized Taoist text is the Tao Te Ching, "The Way of Power," or "The Book of the Way." It is believed to have been written by Lao-Tse but there is a great deal of controversy surrounding the authorship. Most scholars today believe that the Tao Te Ching wasn't written until about 300 to 250 B.C.E. Recent studies even suggest that the Tao Te Ching may have actually been written within a circle of scholarly men. The Tao Te Ching describes the nature of life, the way to peace, and how a ruler should lead his life. The book itself is very short. It is only 5000 characters contained in 81 chapters. The Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts: the Tao-ching and the Te-ching. Very early in history it is possible that these two texts existed individually, however, at some time they were translated together and remain this way today. Chuang-tzu (named after its author) is the second most recognized Taoist text. The Chuang-tzu contains additional teachings relevent to Taoism. It describes Taoist philosophy in greater detail as well as relays stories of Taoist masters and disciples. The Chuang-tzu highlights techniques that focus on breathing, meditation, sexual activity, and diet. The Chuang-tzu is organized into three sections. It is not clear as to when this text was written however estimates are that it was written, sometime in the fourth century B.C.E.

Introduction The purpose of the FAQ is to provide short and concise answers to Frequently Asked Questions in the alt.philosophy.taoism newsgroup. The questions are simple as are the answers. To find further confusion refer to the APT FAQ Bibliography. This FAQ comes in three parts: The FAQ Proper - This document. [sez] TAOISM is Many Things. TAOISM (DAOISM) is the philosophy of Lao Tzu (Laozi) that advocates the simplicity of existence, that teaches non-interference with natural events and the leaving of nothing undone. It is also the philosophy of Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi) which emphasizes the relative nature of what we "know". TAOISM is the application of TAOIST philosophy to a model for living. TAOISM is a system of Chinese Religion founded on the teaching of Lao Tzu and many other Chinese TAOIST teachers. [sez/ch] What is a TAOIST? Tao (or Dao) literally means "The Way." It is a term used to refer to a dynamic and interactive way of being whereby one acts and lives in harmony with nature and change. A person following the Tao does not try to obstruct natural processes taking place. This kind of action, and stillness - being - requires great clarity of vision and strength of mind. To seek and follow the Tao is, then, a difficult but venerable task. The literal impossibility of expressing clearly and completely in words the perceived subtleties and pervasive nature of the Tao, or any human condition, underscores the value placed by Taoists on any individual's unique experience in the world, while also making clear the responsibility each individual has to engage the world in sincere interplay.

86. Tao, Tantien Breathing, Meditation; Sixth Patriarch Zen Center, Berkeley, CA Zen taoism. The combining of Zen and taoism is not new. Bodhidharma practiced Taoist yoga in India. He brought Buddhism to China http://www.zenhall.org/Pages/tao.html

The combining of Zen and Taoism is not new. Bodhidharma practiced Taoist yoga in India. He brought Buddhism to China where it combined with Chinese Taoism to produce living Lin Chi (Rinzai) Zen. The great Korean Zen Master Won Hyo combined both practices in the Silla dynasty 1300 years ago, practicing the same Sun-do breathing we teach here today. Japanese Zen Master Hakuin strongly emphasized the importance of Taoist breathing techniques for Zen practitioners. In the search for awakening to our Essence Mind, Zen meditation is a direct spiritual path. With awakening, all that remains is harmony, love, peace, compassion and wisdom. But with poor healthy or energy and emotional imbalances, many obstacles arise for deep sitting meditaton. Modern day Zen practitioners unknowingly are not utilizing the benefits that Taoism can bring to their practice. Also, Zen has wisdom which goes beyond the harmonizing benefits of Taoism, but Taoists do not realize this Zen wisdom and for them it is easy to become attached to their own energy. With wisdom and pure intention, if we combine Zen and Taoism, we can enter a correct spiritual path with balanced health and purified mind, and achieve great awakening.

92. IDS 3313 Eventually, Confucianism adopted many of the rituals of ancestor worship while taoism practiced augury and sooth saying. II. taoism. http://www.usao.edu/~usao-ids3313/ids/html/taoism.html

CHINA AND JAPAN I. RELIGIOUS ROOTS During the 2nd millennium B.C.E. the Chinese appear to have practiced forms of ancestor worship. They also employed oracle bones to elicit communications from spirits or gods. Both trendsancestor worship and the fascination with determining the possible course of future events remained part of the Chinese religious structure through the ages. Eventually, Confucianism adopted many of the rituals of ancestor worship while Taoism practiced augury and sooth saying. Long before the schools of Confucianism and Taoism developed, Chinese thinkers had already formulated a cosmic theory of a cyclic pattern of waxing and waning, of expansion and contraction. They symbolized this dynamic interplay of forces in the t'ai-chi t'u , or "Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate." As one concentrates on the diagram it seems to become a vortex of rapid circular motion, of the constant interpenetration of the archetypal poles of nature, the yin and the yang . The symbolism is sexual, but not only sexual. The yin and the yang may be considered the primal parents of the universe whose mating generates all of reality, but they are also, and more importantly, complementary principles, neither of which can exist apart from the other.

93. 0f Nature's Holism - Coevolution In Ecosystems. Online book attempting a synthesis of contemporary ecological theory with concepts derived from taoism. http://www.ecotao.com/holism/

Welcome... Nature's Holism has evolved and continues to do so. The book, Nature's Holism (or ecotaoism ) provides an ecological model as an alternative to the "competitive" theory of evolution Nature's Holism - ecology and evolution: We will examine how species associated within the same habitat evolve ( coevolution ). I will show you a holistic view of nature and ecosystems. You will see how the interdependence between long-associated (coadapted) species within an ecosystem affects the ecological structure of natural systems. Natural selection acts upon a creature within a specific niche in nature. The animal's biology is defined by this environment - its form, physiology and behaviour are shaped by the complexity of the natural world. Some excerpts and quotes from chapters of this web page: On Evolutionary Biology: A document, "Evolution, Science, and Society: a " white paper " on behalf of the field of evolutionary biology" states that "Evolutionary biology is the discipline that (1) describes the history of life and (2) investigates the processes that account for this history. It seeks to explain the diversity of life: the variety of organisms and their characteristics, and their changes over time." As such, biodiversity studies can be said to be part of the discipline of evolutionary biology. As a subdiscipline of evolutionary biology, this study falls within evolutionary ecology. This white paper identifies a priority research area to be "development and testing of predictive theories of the coevolution of interacting species." The focus of this electronic text is on a coevolutionary mechanism.

Related Documents in this archive: The Social Problems of Religion Religion in Human Experience The Urantia Book's synopsis of Taoist beliefs What is The Urantia Book? V. TAOISM The Religion of the Divine Way The religions of China are rooted in ancient religious concepts. The Chinese people recognized many gods and spirits. The good spirits were known as Shen and the evil spirits were called Kwei. The common people performed sacrifices and rituals. They believed the universe was composed of the negative force of nature, Yin, and the positive force of nature, Yang. Filial piety and ancestor worship were practiced. They predicted the future by divination through the methodology of I Ching. Following the eleventh century the Chou rulers for political reasons promoted a belief in Shang Ti, the one supreme God who controlled the destiny of men and rulers. The origins of Taoism are unclear. Traditionally, Lao-tzu who lived in the sixth century is regarded as its founder. Its early philosophic foundations and its later beliefs and rituals are two completely different ways of life. Today (1982) Taoism claims 31,286,000 followers.

Striving to attain virtue or achievement is counterproductive and unnecessary. Taoism values mystical contemplation and balance.

The religious practices of Taoism emerged from these ancient philosophies and from Chinese shamanistic tradition; by the 2nd century A.D.
