Many modern people practice in some the Daoist belief. "In the Daoist small worldly paths they don?t cultivate longevity. What they do is all about fortune-telling, Deng Hui reading, exorcising evil, and healing people, and most small worldly paths use sorcery." copied from page #105 in the Zhuan Falun Lecture on the web.

Besides the Daoists mentioned above, there are also many Daoists in marital artists in the TaiChi and BaiGua schools. Therefore, the Daoist practices are somewhat widespread in many Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, ... etc.

Not relating to Buddhism nor Daoism, Falun Gong is a unique school, combining the Daoist and Buddhist practice. Falun Gong is a unique Buddhist School, found in 1992 by Master Li Hongzhi in China. About 100 million people practice in over 80 countries worldwide. Falun Gong is an ancient practice for the body, mind, and spirit based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance.

Daoism, Buddhism, and Confuicianism were destroyed during the Great Cultural Revolution by the Chinese Communist Regime. Today, Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Christians are 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 ?
