I was introduced to the Tao while studying shaolin kung-fu and I kind of got addicted to it. I'd read a page everyday, afterwards I'd sort of medidtate about that page and try to think how it might apply to me. To me the Tao is not a religeous book, it's more of a book of common sense. Being the scientific type it's hard for me to accept a religeon, Thus, again I look at the Tao. The Tao speaks nothing of the afterlife or the gods, so it is easier for me to reflrct on than, say, christianity. The eastern philosophy of Tao is my choice, and I feel comfortable with it. To me that's what a religeon should be. . . P.S. has anyone seen that ripoff of a network, TBN? Man what a scam. balistic
