'''[[w:Tao|Tao]]''' (or '''Dao''') is a term used for concepts central or fundamental to many Chinese and eastern philosophies, especially '''[[Taoism]]''', where it is comparable to some notions of ''[[w:Logos|Logos]]'', the ''[[w:Monad (Greek philosophy)|Monad]]'', or [[God]] in western philosophies, some notions of ''[[Dharma]]'' or [[Brahman]] in Indian philosophies, and some notions of the [[w:Great Spirit|Great Spirit]] (or "Great [[Mystery]]") in Native American traditions. The word itself translates as "way", "path", or "route", or sometimes more loosely as "doctrine" or "principle", and is often used to signify the fundamental or true nature of [[Reality]]. |
