The web site introduces the Tao to the curious and the serious. It started as a hobby extension of my personal interest in Taoism, and has grown into more than that. I'm not trying to sell you any ideas, but if you are looking for a new philosophy or path, here are a few tips.
If you searching for a temple or teacher, be careful. To paraphrase the Tibetan Lam Rim (a Buddhist text): "Most people take more care buying a cow than choosing a teacher, but you are entrusting your precious mind to a teacher so check very, very carefully". Imagine you are buying a car that is worth all the property and cash you have. Seriously.
The challenge of explaining the Tao on the web is that normally explanations are directed at a specific audience with a known level of commitment, experience and cultural background. My answer and continuing direction is to use visual and intuitive tools that all kinds of audiences might find useful. I believe this is in keeping with the spirit of the Tao.

Feedback is welcome at tao@thetao.info You may write in Chinese or Japanese if that is your preferred language.
If you want to argue or criticize, that's fine too, but my policy is I only send a single reply on any topic. This helps me see your point of view, since long arguments only make me cling to my point of view more strongly. Perhaps it works the same way for you too.
