Enlightenment
comes only when you
accept everything that is—
without resistance, without quarrel,
in complete stillness. This is the
only, the simplest, the necessary
ground of being for complete
realization.

Book review: “Taoism for Beginners” by Elizabeth Reninger
“The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name.”
It’s almost a cliché to start any discussion of Taoism with a reference to the iconic first sentence of Tao Te Ching. Written by the legendary Chinese sage Lao Tzu (or by a diverse group of later followers around the 4th century BCE, as scholars now generally believe), this text remains one of the key sources on Taoism — an ancient Chinese synthesis of philosophy and religion based on the notion of living in harmony with the Tao, the ultimate principle behind all existence.
If you’ve heard of yin and yang, wu wei, qi gong or tai chi — these are all originally Taoist principles and practices. During the subsequent centuries, schools of Taoism merged and blended with Buddhism and Confucianism, adding to the cultural melting pot that was mediaeval China. Yet, there has always remained a distinctly Taoist element, recognisable in various — sometimes very subtle — differences from the other two religions / philosophies.
As with any ancient tradition with thousands of years of history and countless schools and sects, Taoism too can seem difficult to understand. Which is where introductory-level books come in handy! In this post I’ll present one that I’ve just finished reading, namely Elizabeth Reninger’s “Taoism for Beginners.”
Elizabeth Reninger is a freelance writer, poet and Taoist practitioner currently based in Boulder, Colorado. Her book “Taoism for Beginners,” subtitled Understanding and Applying Taoist History, Concepts, and Practices, is a slim volume consisting of the following seven chapters:
- What is Taoism?
- Core Concepts
- Core Teachings
- Approaches to Taoist Practice
- Common Myths and Misconceptions
- Taoist Schools and Lineages
- Taoism Today
There’s also a useful reading list for further study, as well as the appendix at the back of the book.
It‘s written in a casual, almost informal, style that may be helpful to those who are otherwised intimidated by the typically rigid strictures of academic writing. The author doesn’t ignore or skip over difficult or complicated topics, but she will simply point out that it takes years of consistent practice to full understand certain things. Fair enough, although I suspect some readers would have preferred a more thorough and slightly more detailed approach.
Is the brevity and lack of in-depth treatment of Taoism a weakness of this book? I think not, as it’s clearly aimed at total beginners who probably wouldn’t have benefitted from too much attention to detail and nuance. Reninger provides a clear and concise overview, with some practical advice for those who choose to spend more time exploring Taoism, ancient and/or modern. Having finished the book, I was definitely eager for more, which is a good sign!
I feel an important point here is that Taoism isn’t simply a school of thought and a matter of intellectual learning. It’s also an actual practice grounded in the body; the physical aspect of harmonizing with the Tao cannot be overestimated. No book can teach you qi gong, and no amount of theory can be a substitute for personal practice. (Needless to say, the same goes for other religions and their practices.)
This little book is something you’ll be able to finish in one or two sittings. It will provide you with the basics and offer a kind of roadmap for further exploration. It’s written in an unassuming and inviting way, that will at least spark some curiosity.
Four stars out of five.
