The Chinese character 道 is written in the pinyin rominization system as "dao." This system was adopted by the PRC in 1958 and is becoming increasingly the standard worldwide. An earlier standard was the Wade-Giles system in which the same character was written "tao." However, in this system an initial "t" is pronounced as a "d" unless it is followed by an apostrophe, which would indicates that the sound is aspirated and should be pronounced as a "t". In other words, the "dao" and "tao" are actually pronounced the same way: "dow".

Traditional Taoism is derived from Taoist writings, such as the Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing) by Lao Tzu (Laozi), the writings of Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi), and the Tao Tsang (Daozang). It is a religious or philosophical teaching that puts great emphasis on the approach one takes to thinking and acting. It is somewhat ambiguous on most of the things Western thinkers consider the basics of religion or philosophy. Its ideas pertain to "effortless action" and "uncarved wood" (meaning simplicity). The basis of the belief is a balance between Tao (Dao), meaning "the way," and Te (De) meaning "virtue."

The term popular Taoism might refer to two things. These share the grafting of traditional Taoism onto other beliefs.

Chinese folk religion, which is so complicated and inconsistent in its beliefs that it has no name of its own, is often referred to in literature as Taoism (and sometimes as Buddhism or Confucianism). It is a set of ancient religions, ancestor worship, animism, shamanism, and magic, mixed to varying degrees with Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. It accepts many or most of the basic ideas of Taoism, but includes much more. This is practiced in China, and in some Chinese communities outside China.

Taoism has influenced thinking outside China and outside Chinese culture. Many people refer to themselves as Taoist because Taoism has influenced their beliefs profoundly. They many be of many cultures, however, and of many religions. In my experience, these people prefer to take their Taoism from traditional sources, but have other religions, including Christianity, agnosticism, and possibly others.

The religion of Taoism derives from the philosophy of Taoism which was founded by Lao-tzu. The practice of Taoism began during the Shang dynasty in China.

They did not agree on good and bad

Confucius was a Chinese philosopher credited as the founder of Confucianism, which had massive impacts on East Asian cultures. In addition to his philosophical works on society and government, Confucius wrote extensively on a belief system called Taoism, and influenced the Taoist movement greatly.

Other than in their own homeisms, daoisms generally pray at shrinisms. Daoisms also usually burn incensisms while saying their prayerisms.

Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu is the founder of Taoism, & his book is the Tao Te Ching.

Speaking philosophically, Taoism is not pacifist per se. Fighting and warfare are recognized as occasional necessities, and one of the most famous texts on warfare - Suntzu's Art of War - was based on Taoist principles. Instead, Taoism argues against unnecessary warfare, and argues strongly against militarism, where a nation or a leader sees military prowess as a matter of honor of glory. The tao te ching suggests (chapter 31) that a one who follows the tao should detest weapons, and if called on to use them should "enter into battle gravely, with sorrow and with great compassion, as though attending a funeral."

No. They are different religions, though they have many similarities.

Both come from China. Confuciusism is the teachings of moral philosphy,social philosphy and ethics. Taoism is a religon that means the path,way or principle. Lao tzu is the founder of Taoism and he wrote the tao te ching.Confucius was a teacher of philosphy,but can be thaught by any religon.Confuciusism is not a religon. He stood for the betterment of china and its people,He was more a leader than a religous figure.Confucius was around the Qin Dynasty(551-479 BC).Lao tzu is from the zhou Dynasty(4th to 5th century BCE).Both are consider Ancient philoshy.

One modern business leader who practices Taoism is Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc. Although not overtly public about his spiritual beliefs, Jobs incorporated Taoist principles into his leadership style, emphasizing simplicity, intuition, and a focus on the present moment. His approach to innovation and design reflected the Taoist philosophy of harmony and balance. Jobs' legacy continues to influence leaders who seek to blend mindfulness with effective business practices.

Shaolin monastery is a Chan Buddhist monastery located on Mount Song in China. The monks there practice their own form of Kung Fu, which is an quite strange for any Buddhist monk, since we try our best not to inflict pain or harm to any living being.

Water is one of the role models that are needed to learn more about Tao. Passage 8 also relates with passage 78. Water is adaptive, gentle, and humble, yet it flows freely, erodes mountains, and creates humongous chasms. It rests gently as a lake or reservoir against a dam, but it will easily destroy that which confines it. One is taught to be fluid, relaxed, and humble. For lack of a less cheesy term, one is taught to "go with the flow" and to be humble and gentle, for there is a strength that comes with this humility, much like water.
