The web site introduces the Tao to the curious and the serious. It started as a hobby extension of my personal interest in Taoism, and has grown into more than that. I'm not trying to sell you any ideas, but if you are looking for a new philosophy or path, here are a few tips.
If you searching for a temple or teacher, be careful. To paraphrase the Tibetan Lam Rim (a Buddhist text): "Most people take more care buying a cow than choosing a teacher, but you are entrusting your precious mind to a teacher so check very, very carefully". Imagine you are buying a car that is worth all the property and cash you have. Seriously.
The challenge of explaining the Tao on the web is that normally explanations are directed at a specific audience with a known level of commitment, experience and cultural background. My answer and continuing direction is to use visual and intuitive tools that all kinds of audiences might find useful. I believe this is in keeping with the spirit of the Tao.
