Morality

[Lau Shagua (John Crowe)]

"Instead of asking if you ought to be conventionally moral or if it doesn't matter, taoists would ask "is it useful to be moral?" The answer would be yes. Rather than focussing on your narrow self-interest or the wrath of God, taoists genuinely consider what the natural consequences are to yourself, human relations, the entire society, and spirituality if you are not moral."
(Bruce Frantzis)

European morality is based on christianity. That's why I asked you. I believe that it is possible to practice healing tao and be a christian, at least until you practice basic level. But any way it's just my personal point of view. Thanks for answer.

Not being a christian, I couldn't answer for christianty. When I was young I was brought up catholic. The way I was taught was with inflexable dogma. I don't think that this type of approach would be compatible with the way I practice taoism. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond!

Ok, how about christianity? Is it ok or possible to be a christian and practice tao at the same time? Or is it useful for taoist?

I like your post.
