Taoism (1955-00-00)
About this film
With the recent rebirth of interest in religion and its effect on the life people live, Religions of Man is a timely and informative series. The programs give a clear insight into the great living religious of our world: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Dr. Huston Smith discusses their origin, founders and what each teaches as to lifes meaning and the way to its fulfillment. A Chinese religion less well known than Confucianism will be introduced in the ninth program of the series. Profoundly mystical Taoism teaches a subtle and skilled approach to living that avoids violence, jerkiness and self-assertion in favor of subtlety, grace and pure effectiveness.
