what is Taoism
I think Tao means Thou, you. Taoism is about you, your well-being, just you. Thou-ism, you-ism, Taoism, same thing :-)

Taoism is actually the Dao. And the Dao means the way. That's why Bruce lee's book of jeet kune do is called the Dao of jeet kune do.

Actually the Tao means nothing, you cannot reduce it to a mere concept, this is why the Tao is said to be nothing that you believe it to be, the Tao cannot be spoken of, it is all there is, as soon as you name it, that isn't what it is, so give up trying to understand the Tao and just become that which IS, after all that is who you already are.

You've got to live it to truly know it, in other words.

The Tao is everything and the Tao is nothing, Tao means the way, the way of life, the way of the universe.
“He who is in harmony with the Tao is like a newborn child.
Its bones are soft, its muscles are weak, but its grip is powerful.
It doesn't know about the union of male and female..."

To ask the question what is the Tao is ignorant, to answer the question what is the Tao is stupid. I can't remember who said that, but its true.

Yes it does sound like he's an idiot to an unenlightened mind, but the words came from an enlightened person, do you now see the difference?.
