Most people would look at Taoism as a religion per se. If one is
not familiar with Taoism, one would be surprised that the concepts
of feng-shui, astrology, geography, traditional medicine, Yin-Yang
and many others influencing modern western cultures are, in fact,
Taoism concepts Others had ideas of Taoism steeped in rituals,
branded as superstitious and even looked at it with apprehension.
It is quite understandable as the concepts and culture of Taoism
hardly cross the path of the Western world. Taoism remains deeply
rooted in the Far East and its propagation to the world is rather
slow and lethargic. A Simple Approach to Taoism - Festivals,
Worship and Rituals and together with A Simple Approach to Taoism -
of Gods and Deities will provide in a simple to understand
language, yet vivid and alluring, the basic history, concept and
the rich, colourful culture of Taoism. The book is organized around
six important themes: Historical Development, Religious Taoism,
Philosophical Taoism, important Festivals, Worship and Rituals. It
also touches on certain aspects of the sacred texts such as the Tao
Te Ching. The sections on important Festivals, Worship and Rituals
will help the reader to understand the building blocks of Taoism
and provide an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the rich
culture and way of life and traditions. Let then the journey
begins, slowly unfolding the vast ocean of Taoism, its beliefs,
culture and traditions.
