Louisa Jane Smith Season 14 Episode 10

I've had this episode ready to release for a while and I have been so looking forward to it.  I knew so little about the Tao until this chat but was entirely curious about it. So I invited Bob Martin to awaken me, all the way from South America!

We discuss the best terminology and spelling, what exactly The Tao is and how it differs from other eastern philosophies like Buddhism or Confucianism, as well how it is similar to Christianity.
We explore the major authors and principle texts. Then we discuss TaiChi, I Ching (pronounced ee-jing), Ying Yang. 

Finally we look at misconceptions and how we can use The Tao in the classroom and possibly in our lives.

Bob very generously signposted us to lots of places - all links below;
