i'm not a taoist, but i have found a lot of meaningful and moving parts in the tao te ching. anyone else read from it?

Not many books can say so much in so few words... and yet... it doesn't claim to have all the answers, either. I like that.

I am a big fan of Taoism and Buddhism. I find what they try to teach, and what they claim is amazing and oh so simple, yet it makes perfect sense.

I havent spent as much time studying Taoism as Buddhism, but from what I have read and learned about it, its pretty damn amazing as far as religions go.

As a militant atheist, I have to say Daoism surprised me when I first started learning about it because it's one of the few religions that actually makes a decent amount of sense. That's because it's not really a religion, but more of a philosophy of life (well, some people have made an organized religion with supernatural elements out of it, but they've ventured a ways away from the original philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi). Daoism isn't about gods or souls or rituals; it's about living life the right way, right here right now in the real world.

yeah that book definitely says a lot with a little words. i've just begun reading and trying to understand, but i've definitely found a book that i believe will give me much insight.
