The Tao




Taoism is a philosophy based on the writings of a 7th century Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu. A collection of his writings form the body of the Tao Ti Ching, can be found here in one of its many interpretations. Frankly, it is not my favorite interpretation but will do until the rest of my possessions catch up with me as I move around this world.

I guess one could say I became a Taoist in 1985 while studying T'ai Chi in Penticton, B.C., Canada under master Harold Naka. It was not a matter of "becoming" though, it was more a matter of recognition that this was the "name" for something I had believed in for many years. It was a great home coming!

It is difficult to "learn" about the Tao, one must really experience it. The following represents a variety of writings on Taoism and Zen .
Learning Of The Tao
A Time Of Blossoming
The Vow Of The Ten Footsteps
Wu-wei - Effortless Effort
Quotes from The Tao of Pooh
Extracts from Tao: The Gateless Gate

I hope to add many more writings to this page. Until then, I will leave you with a few links and wish you happy trails. One can never move outside of the Tao!
