Daoist Priests

Daoist priests are spiritual practitioners trained in the religious traditions of Daoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion focused on harmony with the Dao (the Way). They perform rituals, offer spiritual guidance, and maintain temples to promote health, balance, and spiritual well-being. Their practices often include meditation, prayer, and ceremonies aimed at aligning individuals and communities with natural and cosmic forces. While rooted in traditional beliefs, many Daoist priests also adapt their roles to contemporary contexts, serving as custodians of cultural heritage and spiritual welfare within their communities.
