If this generation of Taoist Seekers is allowed to pass away without fully transmitting their teachings, Taoism will be irrevocably damaged. It would be tragic to allow an ancient tradition of such beauty and nobility to expire along with this last generation of pre-Communist Taoists. To prevent such a loss, important temples need to be rebuilt and repaired. In areas too poor to support religious communities, monks and acolytes need to be subsidized. Works of scripture need to be restored and made available to the Taoist community.
Basic scholarship needs to be funded.
The Taoist Restoration Society is a U.S. nonprofit corporation dedicated to the rehabilitation and rebirth of China's Taoist tradition. We are not interested in exporting, altering, or Westernizing Taoism, nor in gaining converts to any religious cause. The Taoist Restoration Society believes that it is vital that we protect the world's vanishing cultures and ancient traditions. Those of us who deeply respect and appreciate China's ancient Taoist tradition must act now, while modern chaos and destruction are still reversible. What You Can Do Be active.
