Lao Tzu's life history is a bit of a mystery. There are a number of legends about him, and these conflict with one another. We are not sure of his birth date; in fact we are not really sure what century he lived in. He may have been a lesser court official, such as a librarian or record keeper. It is said he rode an ox to the place where he retired, that he wrote the Tao Te Chingbecause he was asked to do so by a border guard, and that he was a very good swordsman. But this is all legend.
The Taoists emphasized living a life in harmony with the Tao (also known as Dao). As such, they aspired to achieving what is known as the "Three Treasures" or "Three Jewels," the fundamental virtues of Taoism: compassion, humility, and moderation.
In a sense Taoism is not so much a religion as a philosophy that is usually imposed on other religions. Taoists have a rather unspecific idea of divinity and afterlife. Most Taoists are Buddhists, who believe in reincarnation. Many Taoists are adherents of Chinese Folk Religions who seem to share a believe in afterlife centering around spirits of the dead who are the ancestors one should worship. Other Taoists are members of other religions with other beliefs.
The Taoists are given credit for creating Tai Chi Chuan which is an internal martial arts style. The Taoists use martial arts in a very similar way to the Buddhists of Shaolin Temple. That is that the Taoists use the martial arts as a form of moving meditation, a method for cultivating chi, a way to keep their bodies in good physical condition, and they generally practice Tai Chi Chuan in order to teach themselves how to live and move more in harmony with Tao.
Why not? I am friends with Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, atheists and probably a few more. It enriches life.
