Main book Dao De Jing Also concerned with proper behavior Encourages people to retreat from the laws of society and yield to the laws of nature Promotes harmony with nature By finding one’s place in nature, it is possible for a person to achieve harmony with the universe The true way to follow the will of Heaven is not through action, but inaction Let nature take its course Embraced an ancient Chinese concept, the notion of yin and yang Yin and yang represent the balancing aspect of nature Male and female, dark and light, hot and cold When balanced, yin and yang represent the perfect harmony of nature
