The Taoist Canon
The Taoist Canon is a collection of sacred texts central to Taoism, composed over centuries. It includes philosophical writings, spiritual guidance, and practical instructions that explore the nature of the Tao (the Way), emphasizing harmony with nature, simplicity, and inner balance. These texts, such as the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi, aim to help individuals understand and align with the fundamental flow of the universe, encouraging inner peace and moral integrity. The canon reflects Taoism’s diverse teachings and has deeply influenced Chinese culture, spiritual practices, and thought.
