Taoism Today Taoism is the thought of as a way of life by it's followers today. They believe that the "Tao" is the natural order of things. It is a force that flows through through every living thing throughout the universe.
T There are three centers in the world devoted to teaching the philosophies of Taoism today. They are located in Shangai, Boston, Moscow. These centers act as the headquarters for smaller temples around the world. At these centers, classes and workshops are held throughout the day, to teach masters, who will teach others. They are taught to reach elightment, wich is the human desire for guidance and understanding.
Taoism has returned to the way it was when laozi founded the religion. For a time period after his death it has became a mistacle religion that used fortune telling, potions, and dragon's bones. It has returned to being a religion that teaches simpleness and respect for nature.
