A Guided Tour of TaoPractice.org

Welcome
...to TaoPractice.org. Here you will find a wide variety of information regarding the Tao Practice.

What is The Tao Practice?
The Tao Practice is a holistic philosophy and practice based on the culture and tradition of Tao, incorporating elements from Buddhism and other spiritual traditions from the East as well as the West. The Tao Practice offers a fresh perspective on these ancient teachings and provides practical methods and ideas to help us achieve more clarity and well-being.

Who Are We?
This site has been compiled by practitioners of The Tao Practice in the DC Metro area, with assistance from practitioners in Los Angeles and New York City.

The Tour
Our site is divided into the following sections: Vegetarian Information, Resources, and Articles.

Vegetarian Information
The Tao Practice embraces a vegetarian diet as a healthy practice that is in harmony with nature and promotes spiritual vitality. This section includes recipes, restaurant directories, recommended books, and links. We will soon have nutritional information and the philosophy of vegetarianism for your perusal.

Resources
General Resources - The Heart Sutra is considered to be one of the most essential Buddhist sutras (teachings), and its influence can be seen in our Tao practice. We have a Mandarin/Pinyin version of the Heart Sutra for viewing, with a brief Guide to reading and pronouncing Pinyin. A Glossary explains terms used in the Heart Sutra. An English version of the Heart Sutra is available for viewing. We have also recorded the Heart Sutra as spoken in Mandarin. Links to sites containing more information about The Tao Practice are listed in our General Resources section.

Recommended Books - These books are recommended because we feel they have important lessons to share. Both Taoist and non-Taoist texts are highlighted.

Recommended Movies - Tao lessons can be found everywhere, including modern-day movies.

Articles
Practitioners of The Tao Practice have written articles covering a variety of subjects. Topics include Taoist philosophy, practical applications of Tao, Tao in popular culture, and personal testimonies of Tao experiences.
