The Daoist and the Religious Man
A Daoist runs into a man of religion one day on his way into town. They stop and greet each other, and chat for a bit. The religious man is very anxious to tell the Daoist about his religion. The Daoist says “I would love to hear all about your faith and philosophy. Although I am on my way somewhere, let’s exchange ideas. You enlighten me on the core teachings of your religion, and I will give you the core teaching of Daoism.”
