Chinese Taoism

Chinese Taoism

Taoism is a philosophy or way people look at life. Lao Tzu believed that the way to happiness was for people to learn to “go with the flow.” Instead of trying to get things done the hard way, people should take the time to figure out the natural or easier way to do things. Everything would then get done more simply, thus, life in general becomes simpler. This is called “wu-wei”, which means “doing by not doing”.

Turtle: move slowly and live a long time.

We should learn from the turtle. Think, talk and move slower. Take deep breaths in between, which will reduce heart rates and help longevity.
