taoism: my thoughts


I was very interested when studying the "Tao-te Ching" and what taoists believe. I thought it was interesting that they believe in the whole concept of "karma" and reincarnation. Its very different than other religions in the world. It is one of the oldest and one of the most unique. The fact they belief in a supreme truth or Te is mindboggling seeing as though truth did not make us or is responsible for creation. Also the dact that they do not believe in any sort of death is curious as well' that nothing ever really dies' just takes on a new life. This was a very interesting subject to discuss and talk about in class. I enjoyed learning about this religion.
