📜 What is Tao?
The Tao (道)
Tao (or Dao) means “Way.”
It is the nameless source, the quiet flow, the natural order behind all things.
It is not a god nor a doctrine. It is the path and the pattern of life itself.
Words Cannot Fully Speak It
As the opening of the Tao Te Ching says:
“The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.”
The Tao reveals itself through nature, through stillness, and through the simplicity of living in harmony.
Why Walk the Way?
We study Tao not to gain power or control —
but to remember how to flow like water,
to be soft yet strong,
to live gently and wisely.
A Simple Practice
Whenever life feels complicated, pause.
Notice the breath.
Watch a tree sway.
Let go of striving.
In this softness, the Tao is near.
