OscarDiggs: Jun 1, 2011; Those sure are words on pages which are given in a sequential order!

I've been shifting between Buddhism and Daoism recently in light of some personal tragedies and a desire to reconcile myself.

Unfortunately, as a result of a youth of reddit atheism and a whole lifetime of being a white westerner, I'm finding it hard to engage with the written texts in a useful way. The ideas and concepts seem right up my alley when presented on YouTube or Wikipedia, but that feels very shallow.

Can anyone recommend ways and techniques to better grapple with works like the Tao Te Ching?
