reginald, i agree with you.
seanray: taoism is a way of life, so you can put it in practice in your everyday life. i know a lot of taoists from phil. taoist temple in capitol site who also respect and incorporate some Catholic practices in their lives. as the dalai lama said, "you chose the religion that best fits you."

i do deplore the Christian preoccupation with sin, especially as it build unnecessary guilt. Like you're guilty for being alive, since everyone is born out of original sin. What they call sin is part of life and very human.

yeh? how come Zhuang Zi thoughts on death are different from that of taoism as a religion: idea of the fountain of eternal youth or was that immortality or something like that.

Please elaborate on this. What do you wish to point out?

me too! no wonder we are called the guilty Catholics. why most people believe in a vengeful God is beyond me.

I'm not a Taoist, but I enjoyed reading the Tao Te Ching many, many years ago.

Taoism is not as simple as everybody thinks of...

[regnauld]

[Red.Emano]
