Discover Taoism - what it is, the concept of Wu Wei and the development of Taoism throughout history.
We’ll explore the various doctrines of Taoism including the ethics, cosmology, and the theology of Taoism, the various core texts, main symbols, rituals practised in Taoist festivals, and the physical practices connected to Taoism.
We’ll look into the impact Taoism has had on society and art, Lao Tzu’s stand on politics, and compare and contrast Taoism with other major religions.
Known as The Three Purities and The Three Pure Ones, you’ll discover the Taoist gods who occupy the highest rank in the hierarchy of Taoist deities. We also look at the various symbolic representations and practices of Taoism, and the Taoist Sacred Mountains and the poems attributed to them.
