Why do Daoists advocate living in total simplicity?
Daoists or Taoists advocate living in simplicity mainly because of their philosophical view of the reality of nature and life. Lao-Tzu and Chuang-Tzu professed 'Tao-Teh-Ching' or the path of Nature for progress and peace in human life; at the same time the knowledge of the same path inherently constitute the treasure of human wisdom about the way of living and dying. No one can change the course of nature, it is paramount; human being is a part and parcel of that nature; therefore, doing things greedily against the laws of nature for temporary pleasure begets the cause of unhappiness just in immediate sequence. Here simple life means the way of living in accordance with the laws of nature. According to Daoism (Taoism), there are laws of the human body too; and these physical laws are attuned with the higher laws of nature; and living a life contrary to the laws of the body brings about negative result on the body system itself. (Ref. Sailen Debnath, 'Akashagarvbha and Chetanagarbha' in The Meanings of Hindu Gods, Goddess and Myths, Rupa & Co, New Delhi)
Did taoism provide any equality to women?
Taoism traditionally emphasizes harmony and balance, which can lead to a more egalitarian view of gender roles compared to some other philosophies. Some interpretations of Taoist texts advocate for the complementary nature of masculine and feminine energies, suggesting that both genders have unique strengths and contributions. However, historical practices and societal norms often limited women's roles in Taoist communities, similar to other cultural contexts. Overall, while Taoism offers a framework that could support gender equality, its application and impact have varied widely throughout history.
Primarily Taoism is a way of universal life. We cultivate with the mind not with the body. What we wear does not bring much meaning to the way we cultivate. The symbol of Taoism is a circle, with half of it is black (signify darkness) and the other half of it is white (purity). However, there is a dot of whiteness in the black half and there is a dot of blackness in the half of whiteness; the signify that in all humans there is no perfect purity and neither there is a perfect evil. In other word in every very good person there is dot of evil and likewise in every very bad person there is a dot of goodness (who knows how much goodness was there in Hilter or Mugabe?). Only God is perfect.
