- Taoism (Beliefnet.com)
"A 2,500-plus-year-old spiritual practice, Taoism (not unlike Zen) is like a 'finger pointing at the moon.' That is, Taoism states that words are just a sign to point to the nonconceptual ultimate reality. It is of value to not obsess over the conceptual pointer but to see the ultimate reality clearly."
- Taoism (InfoPlease.com)
"Taoism, one of the major religions of China, is based on ancient philosophical works, primarily the Tao Te Ching, 'Classic of Tao and Its Virtue.' Traditionally, this book was thought to be the work of Lao-tzu, a quasi-historical philosopher of the 6th century B.C.; scholars now believe that the book dates from about the 3rd century B.C. The philosopher Chuang Tzu (4th–3rd centuries B.C.) also contributed to the seminal ideas of Taoism."

"Taoist propriety and ethics may vary depending on the particular school, but in general tends to emphasize wu-wei (action through non-action), 'naturalness', simplicity, spontaneity, and the Three Treasures: compassion, moderation, and humility."
