Taoists adhere to these as basis for their doctrine of wisdom.
Taoism practices “Tao Te Ching”. This doctrine covers practical advice about wisdom.
Basically, Taoists have a high level of wisdom when compared to other faith. Although, Taoism doesn’t show itself to be a religion but present itself as a way of life that is free from problems in the world full of confusion. Merely looking at Taoism doctrine, one can point to the fact that its point is to prevent any form of conflict.
Taoism teachings are virtually based on simplicity, a virtue that is not different to what the doctrine preaches. Simplicity today in the modern would mean to jettison the idea of leaving materialistic lifestyle and focus mainly on financial stability.
Taoism also preaches naturalness, which is simply being yourself and not be under the influence of anyone. It emphasizes on the need for it followers to have spontaneity, which prevent it followers from thinking about things that can complicate their life. It suggests to its followers to always act towards what is in front of them instead of looking too far ahead.
However, the doctrines of Taoism also promote wisdom through the following results:
- It create a better society for us all
- It gives comfort to individual
- It promotes and enriches the lives of individual willing to follow it
- It encourages peace due to its passive nature.
