Thank you for taking the time to visit the online home of Reform Taoism. We hope that you will find the public sections of our website useful and informative; they are designed to introduce you to our faith, and to answer many frequently-asked questions about our beliefs and practices. Should you find that you have additional questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.




Is the action of nature not unlike drawing a bow?
What is higher is pulled down, and what is lower is raised up;
What is taller is shortened, and what is thinner is broadened;
Nature's motion decreases those who have more than they need
And increases those who need more than they have.

It is not so with Man.
Man decreases those who need more than they have
And increases those who have more than they need.

To give away what you do not need is to follow the Way.
So the sage gives without expectation,
Accomplishes without claiming credit,
And has no desire for ostentation.


- Tao Te Ching: Chapter 77 (Peter Merel, trans.)
