Taoism speaks of a natural flow of energy in the universe called the Tao. A central tenet of Taoism is, if you align your life with the Tao, things will unfold harmoniously.

The force -- as described in Star Wars -- is a similar concept. If Luke can "let go" and "feel the force," his actions will be more aligned with the light.

A way of thinking and a religion

Taoism is not a religion, but a way of thought. It originated from the folk religions and understanding of ancient China, the Yin and Yang, and the older concepts found in such places as the I Ching. It has had a strong influence on many East Asian folk religions, Buddhism, Shintoism, and Confucianism.

American religious scholar Huston Smith divides Taoism into three branches: Philosophical Taoism, Religious Taoism, and Taoist Hygiene. Philosophical Taoists center on the concepts of the Tao, wu wei, and the balance of yin and yang. Religious Taoists worship a pantheon of gods and spirits and practice various religious rites and ceremonies. Taoist Hygiene includes tai chi, qigong, feng shui, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and herbalism, and different types of meditative practices.

Smith also said that the three separate branches at times "mingled powers" and that many of the beliefs and practices overlapped each other to some degree, ie; a Taoist priest being highly adept at I Ching divination and feng shui, or a Taoist Philosopher who may engage in some type of qigong exercise before retiring for the evening.

There are none. The less you do the greater fortune smiles upon you.

I need help on my homework please help me :(

The primary religious figures in Taoism are Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, two scholars who dedicated their lives two balancing their inner spirits.

The most common graphic representation of Taoist theology is the circular Yin Yang figure. It represents the balance of opposites in the universe. When they are equally present, all is calm. When one is outweighed by the other, there is confusion and disarray. The Yin and Yang are a model that the faithful follow, an aid that allows each person to contemplate the state of his or her lives.

More a mode of living than an actual theology, Taoism asks that each person focuses on the world around him or her in order to understand the inner harmonies of the universe. It is a kind of religious system heavily focused on meditation and contemplation. The Tao surrounds everyone and one must listen to find enlightenment.

No it is not gluten free,

Whilst some beers such as Asahi and Corona are considered gluten free, Tsingtao is not made from only fermented yeast, but also barley imported from Australia.

The barley used contains gluten, and as such, those intolerant gluten are unfit to drink Tsingtao beer : (

We humans are creatures of extremes. This often shows up within our spirituality, making for aberrant religious behavior. Taoism did not escape this and so later followers became extreme and fanatical in their search for meaning. Some became hermits and nihilistic. Others became compulsive and controlling in their attempts to formulate "the way" of Taoism. Followers became discouraged, some turning to Confucianism. China today is a "mixed bag" religiously. Though Taoism in its original form has faded out, its positive influence within other religious traditions, in China and worldwide, continues to be felt.

One of the key tenets of Taoism is that you cannot define the Tao and it cannot be found through an intellectual quest. The Tao is like nature; things live and things die, nature and destiny cannot be changed.
