Team paper/ Daoism-Confucianism-Jainism
*My uninformed thoughts on
Daoism I figured it came from an Asian/ Chinese culture.
Confucianism, I had never heard of it and had no knowledge on it, same with Jainism.
*Basic beliefs and teachings:
Daoism/Taoism belief
Daoism does not see gods the same way other religions do. They believe more of seeing gods as enlightened immortals helping and guiding living beings through everyday life. The gods are inspiration towards enlightenment. They also believe spirits had a big part to play in everyday life. Good spirits controlling healthiness, wealth, long life. Bad spirits controlling natural disasters, accidents and tragedy etc. They believed ancestors at death became spirits who spread positivity on living family members. …show more content…
The Dao is heaven, earth and humanity. It cannot be defined because it exists greater than all forms. They feel a human can include the Dao in their way of everyday life. Living the Dao is the way to heaven. Eliminating everything unnecessary and artificial. Appreciating the simplicity of life and riding anything negative. It teaches you how to get there in your own ways. Being at one with nature, especially. They teach and believe meditation and exercise are forms to practice Daoism. Excepting yourself and your life, Self-happiness.
Yin and Yang being opposites that must always be in balance. They believe yin and yang can be applied to everything in life. Stating, humanity must try to balance the opposites of heaven and earth. Believing it can be mixed together perfectly, pretty
