Classical Daoism

Ancient Chinese philosophy emphasizing harmonious living through alignment with the Dao (Way) - the ineffable source and pattern underlying all existence. Classical Daoism teaches wu wei (non-action), spontaneous naturalness, and embracing life's paradoxes rather than forcing outcomes through artificial effort. This tradition values simplicity, humility, and flowing with natural rhythms rather than struggling against them. Founded by legendary Laozi and developed by Zhuangzi, classical Daoism offers profound wisdom for finding peace through accepting life's constant change and returning to original simplicity.
