Daoist thought

Daoist thought centers on understanding and harmonizing with the Dao (or Tao), often translated as "the Way," which is the natural, spontaneous flow of the universe. It emphasizes living simply, cultivating inner harmony, and aligning one’s actions with the natural order rather than forcing change. Key concepts include wu wei (non-action or effortless action), humility, and compassion. Daoism encourages observing nature’s rhythms to find balance and wisdom, suggesting that true harmony comes from embracing life’s natural flow rather than resisting it. It offers a philosophy of harmony between human, nature, and the cosmos.
