Dao (Way)

The Dao (or Tao) is a fundamental concept in Chinese philosophy, especially in Taoism. It represents the natural, underlying flow of the universe—an invisible force that guides everything without effort or force. Think of it as the way things naturally unfold, like the flow of water or the growth of a tree. Living in harmony with the Dao means aligning with this effortless natural rhythm, embracing simplicity, and understanding that true wisdom often comes from observing and gently following life's natural course rather than forcing outcomes.
