The age of Taoism is uncertain. It emerged in China more than 2500 years ago. Its wisdom is contained in the Tao Te Ching, attributed to the great teacher, Lao Tzu.
Where Westerners see opposites,Taoists see complements, two entities which taken together make a whole. The aim of Taoism is to liberate people from heedless immersion in mundane activities, reorienting them toward life's deeper, abiding realities.
The Taoist version of the Golden Rule is: Regard your neighbor's gain as your own and your neighbor's loss as your own.
