Discuss Daoist views of wu wei and qi.

What will be an ideal response?


The only method of following the Dao is by wu wei. This term is difficult to translate and has been rendered as "nonaction," "passive action," "uncontrived action," or "natural nonintervention." Nonaction wrongly implies that one does nothing at all, that one is completely passive.

The body, according to Daoists, has spiritual energy that is cosmic, but not a part of the gods. Daoists believe that every living person has a normal, healthy amount of qi and that personal health results from the balance, harmony, and smooth flow of qi. Teachings
