In the tapestry of Eastern philosophical traditions, Daoism (also spelled Taoism) stands out as a profound and ancient path that emphasizes harmony with the natural order of the universe. Rooted in the foundational text, the Dao De Jing (道德經), attributed to the sage Laozi, Daoism is more than a set of doctrines; it's a way of life that encompasses a range of beliefs and practices. This blog post delves into the core tenets of Daoism, shedding light on concepts such as effortless action, naturalness or spontaneity, simplicity, and the three treasures of compassion, frugality, and humility.
Thank you for the summary and clarity. The macrocosm/microcosm is where my studies and work intersect, that moment between emptying and filling, sometimes I call this the praxis. Very meaningful and supportive offering. 💫
Love this article. You've touched on the core without too much information overload. I have been following the Tao way since 2015 (probably from way before without realizing), and the daily personal unfolding is mind blowing. The key is that we must cultivate the physical body, spirit and intellect. The body and spirit, most of us already do through actions but the intellect must be cultivated by daily study. I feel at peace just by reading this truth. May this peace spread to others. Respect🙏
Thank you so much for your comment. I've been following the Dao (Tao) since the mid 90s. It is such a wonderful and healthy way to experience life on this planet. Have a wonderful day and I subscribed to your substack as well.
