In its rich evolution from antiquity to present times, Chinese religion has encompassed
manifold religious expressions. Taoism is one facet of Chinese religion, and exemplifies
particularly well the variety of beliefs and practices that humankind has adopted
and experienced in the search for answers to both ultimate and proximate questions
about life and death. This book explores the different pathways Taoism took in that
search, touching at many points on the other interrelated facets of Chinese religion
in Confucianism, Buddhism and popular religion. The mystical, philosophical traditions
of Taoism are analyzed, as well as the more colorful and overtly religious strands
of Taoism
