- Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu were preeminent Taoists
- Tao = "The Way," a kind of natural force underlying and inherent in the world
- in China
- you'd have to check the dates, 4Th cent BCE maybe
- looking for a manner in which to live in harmony with the truth of things

Taoism - principle founders: Lao Tzu (most important), and Chuang Tzu.

Taoism is a religion of dualities - there is no good or evil - everything is relative, and everything originates and exists from the Tao.

Where - Taoism originated in Warring States periods 500 BCE - and this is located in China.

You've seen the Ying Yang - light must have dark and darkness must exist with light.

Principle Works: Tao De Ching and the Chuang Tzu -very good books!

Taoism is a cool religion - from the Tao De Ching, "The Tao that can be spoken of isn't the true Dao. The Dao that can be named isnt the constant Dao." First Parts of Chapter 1
