DAOIST MANIFESTO
Daoism is the Orthodox Way (Zheng Dao) founded and revealed by Grand Supreme Elder Lord Himself for humanity.
The Dao is the root of Heaven, Earth, and all beings.
De (Virtue) is the manifestation of the Dao in the human world.
Those who follow the Dao dwell in harmony;
those who oppose the Dao fall into disorder.
Daoism is not a borrowed philosophy,
not a syncretic folk belief,
nor a polytheistic system.
Daoism venerates one and only one Supreme Deity,
who is simultaneously the Dao Patriarch
and the Founder of Daoism:
Grand Supreme Elder Lord.
All Daoist doctrines, scriptures, cultivation methods,
and spiritual practices
return to Taishang Laojun as their sole source,
with the Dao De Jing as their fundamental canon,
and with following the Dao, cultivating De, non-action (Wu Wei),
and naturalness (Ziran) as their core principles.
Daoism does not promote superstition,
does not seek worldly power,
does not commercialize sacred teachings,
and does not accept distorted interpretations of the Orthodox Dao.
Daoism exists
to guide humanity back to its true origin,
to harmonize the human heart amid an age of upheaval,
and to preserve the Dao lineage
through the transformations of the world.
The daoismofficial.com is established
as an Orthodox Digital Daoist Sanctuary,
the Official Voice of Daoism in the Human World,
dedicated to revealing the Origin of the Dao,
clarifying authentic teachings,
and transmitting the Orthodox Way to all directions.
The Dao is not distant.
The Dao is present in living in accordance with natural order.
To understand the Dao is the beginning;
to live the Dao is the true path.
(The Grand Supreme Elder Lord)
