A Website of Taoism

http://www.eng.taoism.org.hk/

I think there is not enough information about Taoism here,so I try to find some source about Taoism,this is the first one,I will try to find others,like the shadowboxing and the works of Taoism,like oneiromancy of Zhou.

Dao can be received but not taught:
Dao has no shape or image, and cannot be grasped directly by the senses. Those who have obtained Dao can tell you their feelings, but cannot give it to you; you can empty your mind to hail its arrival, but you cannot get it from others.

Discard attachments in order to understand Dao:
What should one discard? As a matter of fact, to discard means to decrease the interference of common sense. Common sense refers to knowledge about concrete things. Yet Dao is different from any concrete thing.

Don't confine yourself to existence or non-existence, and reach the extremely mysterious and abstruse state:
Dao is empty, and one should empty, calm, enlighten and purify his mind in order to understand Dao. But emptiness and calmness are absolutely confined to the lifeless empty state.
......
......
Acctually,they are not written by me,but I copy from the website,if you think it interest you,just go ahead,to see more in that website,I'd like to argue about Taoism,though I don't understand it very well,I wish I could improve myself through arguing.

Thank you for the information. Is there an English version. I don't think many of us read Chinese.
