What Will You Learn?

Considered both a religious and philosophical tradition, Taoism emphasises living in harmony with the Tao - the source, pattern or substance of everything that exists - and a term that literally translates into ‘The Way’, yet remains indefinable.

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.

The Taoism Diploma Course concludes with guidance on how to start your Taoist practice, an overview of important Taoist texts, and the concept of God in Taoism.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Understand Taoism, its history, and the concept of Wu Wei
  • Become familiar with the doctrines, texts, and rituals of Taoism
  • Learn about Taoist gods and symbolism
  • Receive guidance on beginning your Taoist practice
