- -Known both as a Philosophy and a Religion -One of the most ancient religions know; earliest historical records date back 2500 years ago. -Originated from China -“Tao”=The Way= To balance the opposite energies of yin and yang -Taoism is hard to define because there are many different traditions for different people Taoists absorb many ideas from other religions.\n\n
- \n
- -Philosophical Taoism came first -Philosophical Taoism does not emphasize gods, rituals or magical practices. People in China mostly practice the religious form of Taoism while people outside of America practice Philosophical Taoism. Philosophy= views, values, lessons/ Religion= views, values, lessons plus gods, rituals, and other practices. Tao Te Ching was written for philosophical views and taken and changed to be used by religious people as well.\n
- -Yin and Yang are opposites -“The Way”= balancing yin and yang -yang is female/ yin is male -They are different but without each other their is nothing- Symbolism of many things. -Yin is black; Yang is white\n
- -life force -exists in everything - “Virtual Matter” - yin chi (p’o)/yang chi (hun)- certain places attract chi such as mountains and rivers.- Feng Shui is used to make the best of the present chi; can bring in more chi- medation- qigong- Tai Chi\n
- -While there is no main “Leader” of Taoism; Laozi(means “old one”) is the most important figure in Taoism -May not have even existed -Theories; might be multiple people and their ideas and ethics - 2nd century B.C says his actaully name is Li Ehr- Was a Confucius.-Slightly older than Confucius- Laozi didn't like the ways of Confucius such as that people needed to leanr and gain knowledge to improve; Laozi beleived people were born good \n
- -Worked in the royal palace of Luoyang, the capital city during the Zhou dynasty -Archivist -at age ninety he left the City on a water Buffalo; before leaving a border guard asked him to write down all of his thoughts- he wrote Tao Te Ching which is the most important book and the first book on Philisophical Taoism.\n
- -Goal=immortality -Founder of Taoism is Lao-Tze. -Has Gods, Deities, Writings, etc. like every other religion. -At first was a philosophy, changed to a religion later. -Buddhism spread from India into China and people that were philosophical Taoists also joined some Buddhists beliefs to create Religious Taoism. \n
- \n
- -Taoism is very different to everyone; ex. Some people believe in an after life and some don’t -\n
- -There are many gods and Deities apart of Taoism -Gods for everything; earth, heaven, immortality, regions of the earth, walls ect. - Gods are separated like a government system- 1.three pure ones= heaven, earth, human beings 2.Jade Emperors’s Court=Ruled by the Jade Emperor, Ling Pao and court of lower gods.\n
- 3.The 8 immortals= Appears as humans and help people on earth when needed. 4. Demons= hurricanes, typhoons, people that weren't properly buried; cause sickness and other bad stuff -yin and yang/ good and evil/ always balanced\n
- -Most sacred areas are mountains -Other important areas are rivers and caves- where shrines are built - give off more chi (energy) -5 sacred peaks 1.T’ai, Heng, Heng, Hua, Song -feng shui - Bring health and happiness \n
- New Years is the the first day (to us the first day of February); Rebirth of Yang(good energy); Offer up sweets to the three pure ones -calendar=three parts 1.Reign of the Spirits of Heaven (lasts six months) 2.Reign of Forgiver of sins 3.reign of water spirits. -Each have festivals relating to each -There is no regular worship like church -there are temples but you go only when you need to -12 months according to the 5 elements- 60 year cycle of the 60 generals under leadership of the Jade Emperor \n
- -2 parts to soul; hun (yang chi) represents the spiritual and intellectual aspects and p’o (yin chi) represents your physical body.- Hun body stays on earth and p’o soul goes to hell -Funeral rituals are performed to settle the hun soul- After death you go to the Underworld (hell)- Judged by their deeds on earth- Karma- They must pay off their bad deeds on earth then they may be reincarnated back to Earth with a different p’o.- Priests are paid to help thier spirits go through hell as quickly as possible- People try to become immortal and escape death completely - While many people are Taoist many of them have different views; some Taoists dont believe in Reincarnation.- Dying should not be feared; it is the next step in life; from being to non-being; when you die you become apart of the Tao.\n
