While many know that Taosim is somehow connected to Buddhism, but they may not understand it's far-reaching influence on Eastern philosophy today. Without Taoism, many believe Buddhism would never have caught on--concepts of simplicity and balance come to us from the mixing of Chinese Taoism and Buddhism.
