Essentially, Taoism is a way to explain nature and all the occurs that happens within. It is often called the nature of reality. Now I am sure you have heard of yin and yang. This represents the two extremes of nature. This is not like good and evil, mind you. Neither can exist without the other. They are opposites. Everything in nature follows some pattern, which is the Tao. The yang is the top part of this pattern which can be viewed as being like the sine wave. The yin is the bottom of the wave. What this means is that everything repeats and is in constant change. So if you are having problems you can know that it will get better, and, unfortunately, vice-versa. The key in Taoism is to be one with the Tao, or in other words, be one with nature and its pattern. If you do follow this pattern and do not attempt to go against it you will do fine. All problems stem from not going with the Tao. There is not much else to state about Taoism; as I said, if you can explain it you don't understand it. If it seems rather simplistic, it is because it is. The go be one with the Tao and all will be well for you will understand. |
