Taoism (or Daoism) refers to a variety of related philosophical and religious traditions that have influenced Eastern Asia for more than two millennia, and have had a notable influence on the western world particularly since the 19th century. The word 道, Tao (or Dao, depending on the romanization scheme), roughly translates as, "path" or "way" (of life), although in Chinese folk religion and philosophy it carries more abstract meanings. Taoist propriety and ethics emphasize the Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility, while Taoist thought generally focuses on nature, the relationship between humanity and the cosmos (天人相应), health and longevity, and wu wei (action through inaction), which is thought to produce harmony with the Universe.

Organized Taoism distinguishes its ritual activity from that of the folk religion, which some professional Taoists (Daoshi) view as debased. Chinese alchemy (including Neidan), astrology, cuisine, Zen Buddhism, several Chinese martial arts, Chinese traditional medicine, feng shui, immortality, and many styles of qigong breath training disciplines have been intertwined with Taoism throughout history.

Both Taoism and Buddhism share one important quality in common: Both are practice traditions, rather than faith tradition. Both emphasize *doing* rather than believing. Many Buddhists, particularly those in the Mahayana tradition, also practice some form of Taoist energy work - certain breathing or energy exercises. In Buddhism, especially in Mahayana Buddhism, we practice in order to attain enlightenment and help all beings become free from suffering.

True Christianity would have to react by feeding the hungry and thirsty, clothing the naked and protecting and loving the fatherless.
