101. The Illuminated Lantern: Taoist Popular Belief In Hong Kong Cinema Essay about taoism as it is represented in popular films and embodied in 'action priest' characters. http://www.illuminatedlantern.com/cinema/features/taoism.html

Home Features Reviews Subscribe Taoist Priests The Taoist Priest Funeral Rites Tools of the Trade Action Priest: The Movies Originally published in The Illuminated Lantern Issue 1, February-March 2000. Written by Peter Nepstad. The Taoist Priest For most of my life, I have known about the Tao Te Ching , Lao-Tzu's treastise on proper living in accordance with the Tao. A collection of poems which instruct on the best way to lead, and the best way to live. Only a life of deep contemplation and meditation could unlock the secrets of the Tao. I was taught that this was Taoism. Look, and it can't be seen. Listen, and it can't be heard. Reach, and it can't be grasped. But then I wondered, if that was Taoism, what the hell was going on in these amazing Hong Kong movies where a Taoist priest fights against hopping vampires, evil sorcerers, and ghosts? Did I miss something? The foundation of both Religious Taoism and Philosophical Taoism is the Yin-Yang five-element (fire, water, air, wood, and metal) school of ancient Chinese philosophy. The classical texts of Chang-Tzu and Lao-Tzu explain the principles of this philosophy, while the priests of Religious Taoism act as interpreters of these principles as they relate to marriage, death, festival cycles, and so on. It is believed that through meditation on the Tao, a disciple will gain heaven's blessing, learn how to control spirits which cause sickness and suffering, and eventually become immortal. The Taoist priest seeks to share these benefits to his community through public ritual and liturgy.

Philosophical Taoism: A Christian Appraisal Michael Gleghorn Taoism and the Tao The philosophy of Taoism is traditionally held to have originated in China with a man named Lao-tzu. Although most scholars doubt that he was an actual historical figure, tradition dates his life from 604-517 B.C. The story goes that Lao-tzu, "saddened by his people's disinclination to cultivate the natural goodness he advocated," decided to head west and abandon civilization. As he was leaving, the gatekeeper asked if he would write down his teachings for the benefit of society. Lao-tzu consented, retired for a few days, and returned with a brief work called Tao-Te Ching, "The Classic of the Way and Its Power." It "contains 81 short chapters describing the meaning of Tao and how one should live according to the Tao." The term Tao is typically translated into English as "way", but it can also be translated as "path," "road" or "course." The chief object of philosophical Taoism "is to live in a way that conserves life's vitality by not expending it in useless, draining ways, the chief of which are friction and conflict." One does this by living in harmony with the Tao, or Way, of all things: the way of nature, of society, and of oneself. Taoist philosophers have a particular concept that characterizes action in harmony with the Tao. They call it

Taoism / Daoism Taoism Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching Chuang Tzu Important Terms Te, power of the Tao Li Tzu-jan Wu-wei ... Meditation Poetry Poetry Mountain Sources Taoism really has to do with flowing with the Tao ( Dao ) - a word translated to English as "The Way", "The Flow of Things", the "Course of Nature", or "The Watercourse Way." Water is used as a representation of Tao because water always seeks the path of least resistance. It does not compete, it spiders out, finds the easiest path and follows it, yet there is nothing stronger. Water will carve through rocks, steel, anything which resists it if given no other path around, under or over it. And it does so by simply rising and using gravity. The Tao Te Ching (or Dao De Jing) is a collection of writings or thoughts said to be written by Lao Tzu around 600 B.C. The Tao Te Ching is the second most translated publication in the world next to the Bible. So what is it? What is this Tao?

108. Taoism taoism. The primary religious figures in taoism are Lao Tzsu and Chuang Tzu, to scholars who dedicated their lives two balancing their inner spirits. http://mcel.pacificu.edu/as/students/vb/Taoism.htm

Taoism The Tao is the natural order of things. It is a force that flows through every living and sentient object, as well as through the entire universe. When the Tao is in balance it is possible to find perfect happiness. The primary religious figures in Taoism are Lao Tzsu and Chuang Tzu, to scholars who dedicated their lives two balancing their inner spirits. Lao Tzsu claimed that the Tao defines translation, that it simply is. Taoism encourages working with natural forces, not against them. Taoism teaches the path of wu-wei - the technique of mastering circumstances, not trying to control them. Teachers of the Tao often use examples of the bending reed or grass blowing in the wind to illustrate this important point. A Taoist would encourage an individual to work with their obstacles and problems instead of fighting adversity at every turn. The most common graphic representation of Taoist theology is the circular Yin Yang figure. It represents the balance of opposites in the universe. When they are equally present, all is calm. When one is outweighed by the other, there is confusion and disarray. The Yin and Yang are a model that the faithful follow, an aid that allows each person to contemplate the state of their lives. Taoists believe that nature and the earth is constantly in flux. Simply, the only constant in the world is change. When individuals learn that growth and movement are natural and necessary, they can become balanced. Reality is perpetual change.

Search Asia Times Advanced Search China THE ABDUCTION OF MODERNITY Part 4: Taoism and modernity By Henry C K Liu Part 1: The race toward barbarism Part 2: That old time religion Part 3: Rule of law vs Confucianism To Taoists, modernity is a meaningless concept because truth is timeless and life goes in circles. In post-modern thinking in the West, much of the awareness that Taoists have entertained for centuries is just now surfacing. Even in military strategy, Sun Tzu's On the Art of War (Sunzi Bingfa), an ancient Taoist military treatise (500 BC), is now much in vogue in this modern age of weapons of mass destruction and remote-controlled precision bombs. Historians are uncertain of the historical facts regarding Laozi, founder of Taoism. The name itself casts doubt on Laozi's identity. Ad verbum

Ac. Outside of Confucianism, Taoism is probably the most important and influential school of thought native to China. In almost direct contrast to the solemn gravity and social responsibilities endemic to Confucian ideals, where the rectification of human actions and interactions is paramount, the Taoists prize contemplation of the natural world. In this world, man is not a central but almost an incidental figure. The Taoist often forsakes society and worldly affairs in order to embrace the Tao or "Way," to bring himself better into harmony with the flow of nature and to pierce through the veils of illusion and artifice that human civilizations, with their many facets and complexities, seem to constantly weave. These two schools of thought then, Confucianism and Taoism, stand in opposition to one another. Each expresses a different aspect of the Chinese psyche. While Confucius would have us dwell in the orderly world of mundane human intercourse, the Taoists offer us a more mystical and transcendental world of the spirit and promise us a deeper insight into the principles that underlie the very operation of the universe itself. Taoism stresses harmonizing the mind and body in order to attune oneself to the natural order.

Walts eHome Walts eBBand Walts eDUp Walts eWork ... Walts eTof C Taoism...living the path! Following Tao means following a living path. It is a way of life that sustains you, guides you, and leads you to innumerable rich experiences. It is a spiritual path of joy and insight, freedom and profundity. Tao fundamentally assumes that an inner cultivation of character can lead to an outer resonance. This is an important distinction. When confronted with the mysteries of the universe and the adversities of life, those who follow Tao think first to secure their own inner characters. This is directly at variance with a great deal of modern thinking. Self-cultivation is the basis for knowing Tao. Although Tao may be glimpsed in the outer world, individuals must sharpen their sensibilities in order to observe the workings of the great. Tao is everywhere. It is literally the movement of all life. It is endless and flows in all directions. Since Tao is the total ongoing process of the universe, it makes sense to go along with it. If we swim a river, we should make us of its current.
