Taoism

Taoism

Taoism is one of the two great philosophical and religious traditions that originated in China.

The other religion native to China is Confucianism.  Both Taoism and Confucianism began at

about the same time, around the sixth century B.C.E.  China's third great religion, Buddhism,

came to China from India around the second century of the common era.  Together, these three

faiths have shaped Chinese life and thought for nearly twenty-five hundred years (Hartz 3).

One dominate concept in Taoism and Buddhism is the belief in some form of reincarnation.

The idea that life does not end when one dies is an integral part of these religions and the culture

of the Chinese people.  Reincarnation, life after death, beliefs are not standardized.  Each

religion has a different way of applying this concept to its beliefs.  This paper will describe the

reincarnation concepts as they apply to Taoism and Buddhism, and then provide a comparison of

the two.

Taoism

The goal in Taoism is to achieve tao, to find the way.  Tao is the ultimate reality, a presence

that existed before the universe
