Tao+Of+Pooh

Tao (pronounced Dow) means **The Way (to happiness)**. This sounds very nice, but what is the Way? It was easy for me to begin to understand Taoism. I had a great teacher, Winnie-the-Pooh! There is a delightful book by Benjamin Hoff (illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard) called //The Tao of Pooh// (Penguin Books, 1982). If you are familiar with A. A. Milne's enchanting characters, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, and Tigger, you'll be surprised if you read //The Tao of Pooh// at how easy it is to learn about Taoism. It's also a great deal of fun, which is very Taoist, as Taoists are firm believers in joy and laughter. Something I think Korean people like to do...when they can. **Taoism is not a religion**. Taoism is a philosophy, a way of looking at life and a way of thinking about things. Taoists believe if you look at life and think about things in the right way, you'll be much happier.
