Lao Zi and Taoism 450-500 BCE

Taoism is "the way" or "the path".  The belief has to do with nature, Yin, and Yang.  It's a Chinese religious tradition.  It is about personal transformation.  Lao Zi was born poor and he was the first to formalize Taoism.  He was taught by the Buddha.  Lao Zi created the book that was sacred in China. The book was burned in the year 220 BCE.  Taoism brought alot of harmony and peace to China.
