| | CHAPTER VIII THE DAOIST RELIGION OF CHINA |
| | After the Daoist religion was established, on the one hand, it struggled with Buddhism and, on the other, it absorbed Buddhist thought. | | | Daoist religion was born at the time of the Han Emperor Shun-di at the end of the first century A.D. At this time China already had a written history of about 2,000 years. | | | The Daoists said that this was contravening the spiritual way of heaven. |

| | Daoism and Daoists |
| | In contrast to adherents of other Chinese religious and cultural traditions, Daoists (Taoists) understand the Dao as the Source of all that is, an unnamable and all-pervading mystery, and the cosmological process which is the universe. | | | From the perspective of classical Daoist “theology,” based on emanation and immanence, such divine beings are embodiments of the Dao. | | | Daoists recognize the Dao as Source, all-pervading mystery, and immanent numinosity. |

| | According to the Daoists’ philosophical history, the founder of the religion was Lao Tzi. | | | The Daoist religion today has become a mixture of other religions including Buddhism. | | | Today, there are very few Daoists left who practice the religion as it was begun in the fourth century B.C. However, there are Daoist monks who still believe in retreating and returning to the primitive agrarian way of life. |

| | Daoist Alchemy is a term we use to describe the group of Daoists who sought, by some means (internal or external), to extend life and reach a definite state of spiritual exaltation while in the body. | | | Buddhists burned Daoist books, Daoists wrecked Buddhist temples, Buddhist influenced government officials forced Daoist monks to convert to Buddhism or be killed, Daoists wrote texts suggesting Buddha was a reincarnation of Lao Zi, and on and on. | | | From reclusive shamanism to organized religion to philosophical tea parties, Daoists throughout time have formed so many schools, cults (1), and reclusive mountain communities (monasteries and hermitages) that even just cataloging them all would be a large undertaking. |

| | COAS E103 0116 The Daoist Body |
| | Daoism [also spelled "Taoism"], the only organized religion ever to have arisen in China, is known as "the religion of immortality." This is because the express goal of Daoism is to teach its followers to merge bodily with the Dao, the basic life-force of the universe, and thus become xian [often translated "immortals"]. | | | Modern scholars of the religion, unable to locate any clear expression in Daoist texts concerning the immortality of the soul, are thus presented with a puzzle. | | | In this course, we shall examine traditional Chinese views of the body through Daoist scriptures, images, stories, and meditations in an attempt to discover what the attainment of xianhood meant in flesh and blood, as well as spiritual, terms to early Chinese Daoists. |

| | For the Daoist philosophers, understanding the natural order of things was paramount, because only by knowing the principles of the Dao could people live in harmony. | | | For while Philosophical Daoists worked toward mystical union with the Dao by use of meditation and uncontrived action (wuwei) and the Religious Daoists strove toward attaining immortality. | | | For Confucius, a peaceful and harmonious society was one in which people observed and followed the correct rituals and codes of interpersonal behaviour; it did not matter what the nature of the universe was. |
