The Daoist School

The Daoist School, or Daoism, is a philosophical and religious tradition from ancient China that emphasizes living in harmony with the Dao (or Tao), which means "the Way." The Dao is seen as the fundamental principle that flows through all aspects of the universe. Daoism advocates simplicity, humility, and deep connection with nature. It often promotes practices like meditation, tai chi, and the use of yin and yang to understand and balance life’s dualities. Central texts include the "Tao Te Ching" by Laozi and the "Zhuangzi," which explore concepts of spontaneity, non-action (wu wei), and the relativity of human concepts.
