Answer 1

"One who knows does not speak; one who speaks does not know."

There is no answer to your questions that stems from the Tao. Anybody who attempts to answer them does not know the Tao.

The Tao is a philosophy, not a religion. It cannot be taught only realized. It involves none of the things you mentioned in your questions.

Answer 2

1) Taoism does not define right and wrong as such... it more offers wisdom that is supposed to make life easier and better.
2) Re-mergence with the Tao, although it doesn't state any specific details.
3) Going with the flow, accepting what is. Act with wisdom and compassion and perspective. Violence is to be avoided because it begets more violence.

In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present.

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.
--Tao Te Ching

4) Meditation can help one contemplate the Tao; but there are no rituals prescribed.
5) There is nothing said about relationship between genders meaning people, but a balance of the male/female energies of yang and yin are recommended.
6) None proscribed, but Taoists generally celebrate according to local culture. I'm a pagan Taoist myself and celebrate Celtic pagan holidays.
7) None; only harmony with the Tao

Answer 3

1) right and wrong in taoism
In Taoist religion, it is good or not so good, meritorous or otherwise.

2) what happens to you when u die / death
If one learns from the Tao and do good meritorious deeds and looks after one's own health, one ascends to immortality.

3) how r u supposed to behave
Look after one's own health, do good meritorious deeds.

4) practices
Follow the steps of nature, honour the deities at new moon and full moon days.

5) relationships between gender
Natural mutually complementing harmony.

6) holidays / festivals
New moon and full moon days, birthdays of major and personal deities, first new and first and last full moon days of the lunar year, all souls month, etc.

7) prayer
Through rituals and scripture chantings.

Answer 4

1. Right or wrong is relative. it depends on someone's perspective. you would never know beauty if you did not know ugly.

2. who knows ? We did not experience death, how come we know ? Even we experienced birth, we do not know the birth.

3. behave as you are, learn more and more the teaching of wisdom and the most importance is to practise it in your daily life.

5. Yin and Yang, they work in harmony.

6,7. It is the way to practise meditation.
