Dao

Dao is the basic concept of Daoism. It translates to "the way." The Dao is the natural flow of the cosmos. According to Daoists, humans are the only ones who do not act according to the Dao. The point of life is to unite oneself with the Dao. The Dao is the ideal state of things. The best way to comply is with non-action, for this will prevent action against the natural order.
