Central beliefs of the Daoism faith

The central theme of Daoism is balance. A person should strive to be one with Dao, living a simple life in harmony with nature. Dao is not a being, but a concept that is neither good nor evil. It creates the universe but does not try to interfere with or control it. Compassion for other life, living in moderation and having humility may lead you toward the Dao. Freeing oneself from desires and believing in the equality of man and nature may help one lead a peaceful and happy life.
