  • Religious Taoism and philosophical Taoism are two very different aspects of the same general tradition. Religious Taoism has gods, temples, rituals etc. Philosophical Taoism is the Taoism of the Tao-te Ching and Chuang Tzu texts. Religious and philosophical Hinduism are also exactly like this,  i.e. vary a great deal in terms of their orientations.

  • Exactly.

  • Such a "pure taoist" never existed outside the imagination of western people basing their belief in one or two pre-taoist texts nobody knows much about. Taoist lineages continue to exist through a wide and complex set of believes and practices, and this is true taoism, I mean one that really exists outside fools dreams.

    Dao'an.

  • True Daoism has always included belief in deities, and rituals... your idea of Daoism is a western fantasy.

  • agreed

  • A true Taoist should not pray or have such rituals and temples.
