Extractions: He wandered out to the western border of his state, riding his water buffalo. He searched for a place to live a simple life, close to nature and without trouble. With him, he carried his ideas. No one ever heard of him again. But before he could cross the border, officials made him write down his ideas: "Live a simple life, be free, be yourself, and be close to nature. Do these things and you will be wise and happy." These words have been kept in a little book called Tao Te Ching, the "writings of Maps of the Way." (Book of Vertues) The scholar was Lao-tzu, the most respected thinker of his day. And the young man was confucius. Confucius spoke about his duty to make the lives of the people better. Lao-tzu answered: "Just like mosquitos will keep you awake all night, this talk about duty to your fellow man drives me crazy. Dont worry about it! Just try to keep your world as simple as possible. Rememberjust like the wind blows whenever and wherever it wants to, good times will come and sometime and somewhere. Be natural. Go with the wind." Like confucius, Lao-tzu had been troubled by the violence of his times. But he thought that it was a mistake to try to change people. He believed that people were naturally good. Man didn't have to be "controlled." Too much control was spoiling man. He saw that men were trying to live by "man-made" laws, customs, and traditions. They couldn't do this and were unhappy. If men follow the ways of Tao, the way of nature, they will lead a good life. He really told each man to "do your own thing"be yourself.

(Clicking here leaves this website.) Read This Book: and get enlightened, like God, to know the truth of your existence. This is reclaiming your Self, not maintaining the compulsion you have become. This is understanding the Mystery of who You are, the journey Home, Knowing you are Lived. This is what Jesus Knew. What Buddha, Lao Tzu, and all the others have Known. This web page is just a personal and limited expression of That. And when you Know, you Know there is nothing to become because you already are It (but this is getting ahead of the game). It's not free. It's going to cost you something. The cost of Knowing who You are is the sacrifice of who you think you are; it's the sacrifice of your self. Now, if you are psychotic, or what they call a borderline, or where your ego defenses are a bit shaky, or you cling to your self with a death-defying compulsive grasp, such a journey Home may be contra-indicated for the time being (or where much more assistance is indicated). Such a journey (on the more conscious path - it's all, of course, a journey) is not even for the normally neurotic self as that self is simply the socially conditioned robot, a mechanical-self, who has merely bought the cultural illusion and rather desperately (neurotically) tried to live up (or down) to that delusional condition.

Extractions: 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.

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. Enjoy pictures from Grandmaster DeMaria's visit to the Grand Opening of the new Peaceful Dragon .

Tao | Thinking | Taoism And Anarchism
taoism Anarchism. Although it has helped shape Chinese culture as much as Buddhismand Confucianism, taoism by its very nature never became an official cult.
http://www.tao.ca/thinking/texts/taoanarch.html

Extractions: ANARCHISM IS USUALLY CONSIDERED a recent, Western phenomenon, but its roots reach deep in the ancient civilizations of the East. The first clear expression of an anarchist sensibility may be traced back to the Taoists in ancient China from about the sixth century BC. Indeed, the principal Taoist work, the Tao te ching , may be considered one of the greatest anarchist classics. The Taoists at the time were living in a feudal society in which law was becoming codified and government increasingly centralized and bureaucratic. Confucius was the chief spokesman of the legalistic school supporting these developments, and called for a social hierarchy in which every citizen knew his place. The Taoists for their part rejected government and believed that all could live in natural and spontaneous harmony. The conflict between those who wish to interfere and those who believe that things flourish best when left alone has continued ever since. The Taoists and the Confucians were both embedded in ancient Chinese culture. They shared a similar view of nature, but differed strongly in their moral and political views. They both had an attitude of respectful trust to human nature; the Christian notion of original sin is entirely absent from their thought. Both believed that human beings have an innate predisposition to goodness which is revealed in the instinctive reaction of anyone who sees a child falling into a well. Both claimed to defend the Tao or the way of the ancients and sought to establish voluntary order.

Taoism HTML Unicode Wade-Giles , spelled Daoism in Pinyin , but usually rendered in Wade-Giles when writing in English ) is an Asian philosophy and religion, though it is also said to be neither but rather a way of life. Translated literally it means "Way" or "Path". The Dao is the natural order of things. It is a force that flows through every living or sentient object, as well as through the entire universe. Daoism is a tradition that has, with its traditional foil Confucianism , shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years. Daoism places emphasis upon individual freedom and spontaneity, non-interventionist government and social primitivism and ideas of self-transformation, and so represents in many ways the antithesis to Confucian concern with individual moral duties, community standards, and governmental responsibilities. Traditionally, Taoism has been attributed to three sources: The oldest, the mythical '
