Feng Hui is not a religion, but it is based on the Tao.

actually there are no differences nor similarities.

Taoism is a philosophy. some of its members adopted fungiHui part of their practice many years ago. taoism can be practiced without fengshui.

fengshui, on the other hand, is not a belief, it is not a religion and definitely not a philosophy. fengshui is composed of a group of methods (configurations or formulas). these methods are derived from the observations of nature thousands of years ago. so in essence, fengshui is like how you put order into nature, as a means to control it, or to make it work towards your goals and making life easier. fengshui can be practiced alone, independent of taoism.


fengshui is never based on tao. many fengshui practitioners around the world learn and use fengshui without having learn any taoism.
