Daoism
Our explanation of Daoism
Their Thoughts
One reason for this is that the history of Daoism is one of continuous change rather than a one single thought throughout Daoism has no single founder, such as Jesus or the Buddha, nor does it have a single key message, such as the gospel or the four noble truths. Daoism is more of a continuous self-invention.
In the picture above it is supposedly Confucius meeting Lao Tzu one of the early philosophers of Daoism.*
Unlike other religions for example ,Confucianism Daoism scorned powerful people. They saw eye to eye with common people.
Daoism was NOT a religion at first. It became a philosophy THEN that developed into a religion.
The religion was based off of the teachings from philosopher Lao Tzu. Developed in the third century.
