As requested, here is a discussion thread for Taoism (aka the Tao, or the Dao, or the Way)
For anybody interested in the Tao Te Ching, I found an interesting copy online that has 4 translations side by side. I found it helped me get a better understanding to see multiple possible translations.
One of them is almost a âhyper modernâ translation. For instance:
If you can talk about it,
it ainât Tao.
If it has a name,
itâs just another thing.Tao doesnât have a name.
Names are for ordinary things.
