According to Encyclopedia Wikipedia, Daoism (Taoism) is a religious or philosophical tradition of Chinese origin which emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao which literally means “way”. The Tao Te Ching, a compact book containing teachings attributed to Lao Tzu, is widely considered the keystone work of the Taoist tradition, together with the later writings of Zhuangzi.<\/p>\n
In Taoism, the Oneness of Reality is summarized as follows: the Tao is \u201cthe One, which is natural, spontaneous, eternal, nameless, and indescribable. It is at once the beginning of all things and the way in which all things pursue their course\u201d. Equal Respect and dignity of all human beings is also an essential value in Taoism, and is reflected in what is referred to in Taoism as the \u201cThree Treasures\u201d: \u201ccompassion\u201d, \u201cfrugality\u201d, and \u201chumility\u201d. It calls upon everyone to \u201cRegard your neighbors\u2019 gain as your own, and your neighbors\u2019 loss as your own loss\u201d. It also acknowledges the significance of relationship between human beings and the natural and cosmic environment around us\u00a0 with the emphasis it gives to: wu wei (effortless action) — “naturalness”, simplicity, spontaneity.<\/p>\n
At the Humanics Sanctuary a site has been reserved for sculptures or plaques of Taoism and Shintoism) that portrays the three essential values that the Humanics Institute is meant to promote.\u00a0 The Institute would appreciate if Individuals or groups belonging to the Taoism and Shintoism faith, could volunteer to work with the Institute to develop this site with relevant sculptures or plaques and appropriate landscaping.<\/p>\n
