Default Does Taoism have a salvation system/plan?

like the Buddhists have the noble 8 fold path
and Hindus have the yo gas
and stuff
well i know they don't have an afterlife thing. . i was thinking about like a systematic path or teachings to follow to get out of the falsity . . .

no
Taoism does not address the afterlife. In Taoism death is reverting to non-being just as it was before birth.

And Taoists have... the Tao. It really isn't a salvation system, but more like a way of life.

there is no need to be "saved" in Taoism. The closest is has is to live a balanced lifestyle, but this is just to help you in this life. Taoism really doesn't address any sort of afterlife issue

Taoists aren't really big on plans of any type.

The Tao happens whether you make plans or not.

Practice Tai Chi, stay in good shape. Eat healthy, must have regular sleep. Must wake up early in the morning. Must exercise daily.

Perhaps the following articles help you to understand what Daoist belief is about.

Lao Zi started the Daoism.
http://chinascope.org/main/content/view/227/148/
Daoist teaching can be found in Dao Te Ching and Daoist Canon.

Another Daoist story:
http://en.epochtimes.com/news/7-6-25/56854.html

Not relating to Buddhism nor Daoism, Falun Gong is a unique School, combining the Daoist and Buddhist practice. Falun Gong is an ancient practice for the body, mind, based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. There are about 100 million people practicing Falun Gong in over 80 countries worldwide.

Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Daiosts have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China. Can you kindly sign a petition to stop persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, please ?
