Question
which best beliefs reflecrs taoist beliefs

Answer
Hello Lexxi,

"Clearly not doing any justice at all to the profundity of Lao-Chuang [Lao-Zhuang] thought, we might nevertheless say that whilst the Taoist seeks to follow the Tao, the Way of the universe and of man, particularly by balancing the yin and yang aspects of Nature in his own life, the Advayavadin, like the Zen practitioner, does not stop here, but goes on to transcend this polarity in his thinking and way of life - the Advayavadin achieves all this by following in his or her daily life the Noble Eightfold Path 'with no preconceived goal or preconception of what is proper'. [John Willemsens a.k.a. Advayavadananda, is the author of De weg van Lao-tse, Bres, Amsterdam 1990, a Dutch version of the Tao Te Ching.]"

Kind regards,
Advayavadananda.
