I put your link up on my blog. I don't study Daoism, but I practice Zen Buddhism (most days), and a lot of the eastern religions blend together in the sense that they all aspire to achieve a more "real" realization of reality, if you can grasp that. It's a all a bit atheist in that Buddhists and Daoists don't worship a higher power, but rather achieve the higher power. It completely contradicts Western philosophy, because it's not a religion- although it's classified as one-, but a practice and a way of doing things. I've probably said way too much already, but if you're interested I could go on and on about it. I also have some book recommendations. Whew! I'll shut up now. Thanks! I put your link up on my blog.

I just happened to stumble across your site. I read excerpts from your religion papers and I was quite intrigued. When you stated that you didn't have a good grasp on the concept of the Dao, I can understand. I wanted to comment that the Dao- at least I think- is something one experiences, and is not necessarily meant to be understood on an intellectual level. Daoism is a bit confusing. Sorry for the long post. But, would you like to be affiliates? You seem intelligent and interesting, which is really hard to find on the blogosphere. I am also 18 and in college. I attend Loyola University New Orleans. Sorry if I sound like a stalker. I promise I'm not! Hi! I just happened to stumble across your site.
