Spiritual Taoism (Dao Shu)
Spiritual Taoism is the 'core' of Taoist teachings.
Only through spiritual cultivation, can we realize and achieve
an understanding and feeling of the mystery of universe (Tao) on
a personal level. This understanding cannot be achieved solely
through classes (oral transmission) or by reading books.
Taoist Masters, Saints, and Prophets are all Taoist Spiritual
practitioners. They passed down their spiritual methods to
'disciples'. However, the 'Follower' (Folk religious adherent)
learned only Taoist religious theory and tradition.
In Taoism, the act of Taoist Spiritual Cultivation is called "Xiu
Dao", which literally means;
1. Xiu = To Revise, Improve, Fix, Mentor.
2. Dao = Universe with its own law and all of the elements
inside it.
So, Xiu Dao can be translated as "To revise your own self into
perfection/immortality as a whole, in the Taoist way"
Therefore, The layers of cultivation in Xiu Dao cover all
aspects of life. This can generally be divided into 4 parts;
1. Physical body
2. Conscious body (Mind/soul/heart & Spirit)
3. Subtle body
4. Righteous morality and Merit accumulation (Gong De)
