Your questions are not any further achieveable. enable me clarify, a lengthy time period in the past there grow to be an attempt in China to outline what that's to be a Taoist, what's Taoism, and they failed. because Taoism is so different those days it isn't achieveable to assert what Taoism is. only as there are a variety of of different Christian denominations which make it no longer achieveable to outline what precisely a Christian is, some Christians trust there's a God and some others trust we are God, that's an same with Taoists. There are classical Taoists, Philosophical Taoists, Hsien(religious) Taoists and so on, and each and each and anybody of them are different in a unmarried way or yet another. the most trouble-free texts are Tao Te Ching, Chung Tzu, and Lieh Tzu. different sects of Taoism comprise some others, yet those 3 are the most nicely huge-spread. attempt fb, there are countless Taoist communities on there or maybe there you'll locate entire adjustments on what that's to be a Taoist. a good e book to ascertain is Tao the Watercourse way. by using Alan Watts. except that, in the experience that your in contact, only keep on with what feels organic to you.
