What is Taoism?
Tao is a concept found in ancient Chinese philosophy that aims at active and holistic conception of the world. In Taoism, Tao both precedes and encompasses the universe. As with other no dualistic philosophies, all the observable objects in the world u2014 referred to in the Tao Te Ching as 'the named' or 'the ten thousand things' - are considered to be manifestations of Tao, and can only operate within the boundaries of Tao. Tao is, by contrast, often referred to as 'the nameless', because neither it nor its principles can ever be adequately expressed in words. It is conceived, for example, with neither shape nor form, as simultaneously perfectly still and constantly moving, as both larger than the largest thing and smaller than the smallest, because the words that describe shape, movement, size, or other qualities always create dichotomies, and Tao is always a unity. While Tao cannot be expressed, Taoism holds that it can be known, and its principles can be followed. It isn't a religion, but a way of life.
