It encourages acting in accordance with the Tao (the fundamental way of the universe), promoting effortless, spontaneous behavior that respects nature and others. Instead of rigid rules, it values balance, non-interference, and inner tranquility, trusting that moral virtue arises naturally when one aligns with the Tao. This approach fosters authentic living, reduces conflict, and nurtures harmony within oneself and with the world around us.
