In modern Taoist practice, the emphasis is often on “going with the flow” (wu-wei) and not following any fixed rules of any kind. This may work well for an already enlightened Taoist Sage, but for the rest of us, following a spiritual path involves ethical, moral, and practical guidelines. In this talk, we will examine Taoist precepts to see how they relate to the earliest Taoist principles articulated in the Daode Jing, as well as what practical advice they can offer us for navigating the modern world.
