 | | In modern times, religious Daoism has continued to merge with Buddhism and other religions in China. | | | Another major element of religious Daoism was belief in gods. | | | Daoism gradually changed from the philosophy of a small number of sages to a widespread popular religion followed by numerous individual believers and by many groups of monks and lay people. |

| | Daoism and Daoists |
| | Daoism is a “religion” because it involves an orientation towards and relationship with the sacred. | | | Daoism is no longer simply a Chinese religious tradition. | | | This does not mean that there should not be adaptation and modification; change necessarily occurs when a religious tradition enters a new cultural context and when religious practitioners have different concerns and motivations. |

| | Daoist Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Daoism of this period integrated the Three Teachings (sanjiao) of China: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. | | | Daoism is filled with accounts designed to show that those who learn to live according to the according to the dao have long lives. | | | Some Buddhists saw Laozi as an avatar of Shakyamuni (the Buddha), and some Daoists understood Shakyamuni as a manifestation of the dao, which also means he was a manifestation of Laozi. |

| | Daoism is Huang-Lao, Mencius, and the metaphysics/epistemology of Legalism from Guanzi to Hanfei-zi as well as that of Han Confucianism, Neo-Daoism, Buddhism, and the Neo-Confucians. | | | Creel distinguished between religious and philosophical Daoism, but they were linked by an essentially religious motif-worship of The Dao. | | | One feature of recent textual theory (with unnoticed roots in the second story) is the idea that texts were "maintained" by a textual community. |

| | Additionally, because of the fact that I believe that Daoism is the basis of ALL religion, whether the practitioners of those religions realize it or not, I would have to say (or I would be remiss) that Daoism is alive and well in the western world; it's just that many haven't noticed it yet. | | | Like myself, many on this board have arrived at Daoism as an alternative to a religion that they were disillusioned with —i.e. | | | For me, Daoism appeals to me as the “religion of no religion” that solely focuses on love, compassion, servitude, and above all balance. |

| | The Distinguishing Feature of Immortalism: Immortality Can be Sought After and Studied |
| | The pantheon of Daoist Immortals: Daoism is a polytheistic religion. | | | Although Daoism is polytheist, it nevertheless has a certain inner unity, as all divinities are manifestations of 'Dao', and possess Dao-Nature | | | Looking at the functions and spiritual attributes of the three levels of divinities, we can see that they form a structure analogous to the administrative systems prevalent in human society. |

| | Emei Mountain Daoism |
| | Daoism as a religion began as early as the Xia Dynasty (circa 2000-1500 B.C.) with roots in Shamanism, worshipping the forces of nature. | | | Many of the Daoists of Emei took in the teachings of Chan Buddhism and integrated Buddhist principles into their views. | | | It was said that the Daoist influence prospered in the region when Lao Zi passed the region in his famous journey to the West on an ox. |

| | Daoism |
| | Daoism (Taoism) is the most mystical of the major schools. | | | Unfortunately, Daoism itself was changed throughout the centuries, increasing in mysticism until it became full of superstitions, omens and quests for immortality. | | | In it Zhuangzi tells anecdotes and explains the Dao in simple, conversational language while preserving the mysticism of Daoism. |

| | Daoism during the Southern Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties |
| | In the north, Daoism was dominated by the Complete Perfection Tradition, in the South by the Orthodox Oneness Tradition. | | | But after Zhang Zongyan became the leader of Daoism in the South, the Celestial Masters developed into the most prosperous and widespread Daoist sect, ultmately surpassing the Maoshan sect and the Gezao sect, and parallelling the Complete Perfection sect in the North. | | | In the Yuan Dynasty, the privilege of controlling Daoism in the South came to the Celestial Masters of the Orthodox Oneness Tradition. |

| | Taoism |
| | The term "Daoism" is also associated with assorted naturalistic or mystical religions. | | | The most dramatic message of the Zhuangzi is a theme that links Daoism to Zen (Chan -- the distinctively Daoist influenced branch of Buddhism) -- the "mysticism" of losing oneself in activity, particularly the absorption in skilled execution of a highly cultivated way. | | | Their philosophy reinvested a stoic spirit in their new-Daoism embodied in the enduring slogan "Sage within, king without." They understood Daoism as a kind of inner emptiness or non-commitment coupled with a meticulous conformity to one's actual role in the times -- whatever it might be. |

| | Complementing the practical, secular ideas of Confucianism, the Chinese were also guided by the spiritual mysticism of Daoism. | | | For spiritual needs and to connect with the natural and harmonious workings of the universe, there was Daoism. | | | The best mirror for the universe and its workings, according to Daoism, is nature. |

| | The first of these is the Southern, or Zhengyi (Orthodox Unity), form of Daoism, which was traditionally centered at Mt. Longhu in south China and claims to continue the ritualistic and priestly traditions of the ancient Celestial Masters. | | | From the fifth to the tenth century, the various Daoist sectarian religious groups were loosely organized, and their scriptures were systematized in an open-ended “canon” that came to be known as the Daozang, or Treasury of the Dao. | | | Despite these ongoing reveries, Daoism is increasingly being recognized as an exceedingly rich religious tradition with an immense textual and historical lore that defies any attempt to reduce its meaning to a few ancient texts or Forrest Gump platitudes. |

| | Daoism |
| | This is historically the foundation of Daoism as a religion by the revelations of the DAO DE JING by TAI SHANG LAO JUN (Laozi). | | | But we could say, that hystorically Zhang Ling was celebrated as the first Celestial master in the west of China at the second century, where he was the one who was seen as appropriate to go public with a natural knowledge, which was inside a few families there for a long time before. | | | So here we have the founding most important historical root of 'public' Daoism which is still very active almost in Taiwan, Hong Kong and South China but more the more in the West as well and of course everywhere where many Chinese live. |

| | The Nitty Gritty about Daoism |
| | Daoism the religion is a bit more complicated, but not much. | | | Daoism has two strains: Daoism the philosophy, and Daoism the religion. | | | Maybe the best way to organize this is to look at the History of Daoism, the Beliefs and Practices of Daoism, and Daoism in the World Today. |

| | Most of these misconceptions have their origins in conventional Chinese prejudices concerning Daoism, Orientalist constructions, missionary sensibilities, Abrahamic assumptions about the nature of the sacred, and the appropriative agendas of New Age discourse communities. | | | · That the Chinese daojia 道家(lit., Family of the Dao) and daojiao 道教 (lit., Teachings of the Dao) correspond to the Western constructions of philosophical Daoism and religious Daoism | | | · That Daoism is a single, unified tradition |

| | The vocabulary of Daoism was also instrumental in transforming imported Mahāyāna Buddhism from an exotic religion into a source of spiritual growth with largely indigenous aspirations (see Buddhist philosophy, Chinese). | | | A proto-Daoist religious sensibility seems to have been a stratum of Chinese popular culture centuries before the emergence of ‘religious Daoism’ as a formal iconoclastic movement in the second century ad. | | | Daoism is a complex movement in early China (see Daoist philosophy). |
