What does Taoism preach? What is Taoism?

Taoism seeks truth, cultivates into a real person, and returns to the basics.

It is a pity that most of the current Taoism has taken the route of praying for blessings or eliminating disasters. I don't want to work hard'Cultivating to heaven).

Cultivation is not an easy task).

Taoism is a general term for China's native religions, Taoism is not uniform, with multiple sects and different doctrines. But no matter which school it is, the core idea is the same:

1. Taoism is a polytheistic religion. Taoism's religious outlook is basically the same, that is, it believes that there is a "fairy world" and that there are multiple "immortals" living in it. Therefore, Taoism has a strong inclusiveness.

2. Taoism pursues "retribution in the present world", with immortality or ascending to immortality as the ultimate goal of cultivation. Whether it is immortality or ascension, one's body is the capital, in order to strengthen the body, I have thought of many ways, such as alchemy, tonics, qigong, and even including stargazing and divination (avoiding evil and seeking good fortune to keep peace), feng shui is the art of public opinion (by the way, Taoist feng shui looks at the yang house, and it is a lie to look at the yin house, remember that Taoism is a religion that pursues the retribution of the present world).

Taoism is the native religion of China, with "Tao" as the highest faith. Taoism is based on the ancient Chinese concept of ghost and god worship, based on the ideas of Huang and Lao Taoism, and inherited the evolution of immortal magic since the Warring States period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Taoist organizations appeared, including the famous Taiping Dao and Wudou Rice Dao.

The palace is a place for Taoist activities, and there are more than 2,000 palaces registered and opened in the country.

"Reciting the Dharma and Handling the Sutra" Women are bad in the world, so that all good is destroyed.

Taoism is based on Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching and other classics, but Taoism in the Warring States period was not yet Taoism. A Taoist priest is a member of the Taoist clergy. It was only after the Han Dynasty that the Order was formed.

The Han and Wei dynasties were the origins of Taoism. As two landmark events for the final formation of Taoism: one is the circulation of the Taiping Sutra, and the other is Zhang Daoling's Five Bucket Rice Dao (Heavenly Master Dao).

During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (126-144), the Taiping Qing Lingshu (i.e., the Taiping Sutra, which is believed to have been compiled by Gan Zhongke, a Qi man during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty) was widely disseminated. When he arrived at Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao preached in the "Taiping Qing Lingshu", called Taiping Dao, and called himself a great sage and good teacher, and his followers were all over the world, which was already quite influential. Later, the Yellow Turban Uprising failed, and Taiping Road became increasingly declining.

When the same was Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling learned the Tao in Heming Mountain, Shu County, recruited disciples to preach, and the believers came out of five buckets of rice, so it was called five buckets of rice. His son Zhang Heng and his grandson Zhang Lu (Zhang Lu, Marquis of Langzhong, the separatist regime during the Three Kingdoms period) maintained the Hanzhong for many years, and later cooperated with the supreme ruling authority, so that the influence of Wudou Midao spread from the southwest corner to the sea, and then developed into the Taoist authentic Tianshi Dao.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan recognized Laozi Li Er as his ancestor, Song Zhenzong and Song Huizong also believed in Taoism, and Song Huizong called himself "the leader of the Taoist Emperor", so Taoism was highly respected and became the state religion. At this time, factions such as Maoshan and Gesoap appeared, and the Heavenly Master Dao also re-emerged. Since the Han and Jin dynasties, the Taoist Danding faction, due to the vigorous advocacy of Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin and others, the study of Inner Dan began to appear in the world.

Taoism flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties.

Zhang Daoling, the authentic Taoist Heavenly Master and the founder of Taoism, is revered as the first generation of Heavenly Masters.
