- Synopsis
- Taoism, an ancient religion with roots stretching back nearly five thousand years, combines elements of folklore, occult sciences, cosmology, yoga, meditation, poetry, quietist philosophy and exalted mysticism. Mysterious and charmingly poetic, it is a living remnant of a way of life which has almost vanished from the world. Often attacked as picturesque, worthless superstition, Taoism's future is in doubt following the Communist takeover of its homeland.
