天道

Mr Chat is still adhering to and practicing taoism, 天道 which we got acquinted while in Taiwan about 20 years ago. Their guidelines are kind of strict ...... At least it does not mandate us to live like a monk, 僧, but more to practice a modest life style.



As a concept, Taoist do not hold the position of good against evil; rather they see the interdependence of all dualities. So when one labels something as a good, one automatically creates evil. Even in goodness, there are traces of evil in it.

For more than two thousand years, Taoism has evolved in close interaction with the other major traditions of China--Confucianism, Buddhism, ethnic creeds, and popular religion--and adapted many of their features. To the present day, Taoism consists of a multiplicity of beliefs and practices.

For me, I tend to favour a combination of taoism and buddhism.

I always advocate a simple life and taking the middle path. Enjoying living without being extravagant. Earning a living without having a rat race.
Lately, the effect of US sub-prime financial crisis creates such a devastation that makes me re-think about living and consequence's. Many has lost direction but I will strongly recommend them to go back to basic.
Live a simple life and believe in God/Religion.
Back to basic.
