Taoism: Founder: Lao-Tzu Text: Tao Te Ching (The Way of the Tao) Like Confucianism, Taoism is less concerned with the nature of the universe as much as how one should live; Unlike Confucianism, Taoism postulates that one should do…nothing. The universe is sacred. You cannot improve it. If you change it, you will ruin it. If you try to hold it, you will lose it. Problem of the Butterfly; Taoism: Lao-Tzu, in the Tao Te Ching, proposed a quandry; One night, he dreamed he was a butterfly; The next morning, he woke up at his usual time and went about his day; During his day, he was struck by the question: which was real? In other words, was he a man who dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly who dreamed he was a man? What is one piece of information from each world religion? 1. Christinaity - (Your Answer) 2.
