Taoism (Daoism) began as a philosophy of individual exploration for right living and since as a philosophy it has no dogma, it is compatible with science, many religions and other belief systems. The Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing), a sacred ancient text whose ideas originated approximately 650 BC, initiated the Taoist movement in China and Traditional Chinese Human and Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) evolved from their teachings. From approximately 650-350 BC, the Tao Te Ching was passed on orally as the philosophy of Lao Tzu and then was transcribed by ancient Chinese scholars probably around 300 BC. Translating these ancient texts to English has been challenging because of the evolution and changes of the Chinese language over the years and the fact that Chinese words often have multiple meanings, sometimes which are opposites. This article explores the meaning of Taoism and applying it to one’s life through meditation.
