Between their births and their deaths,
Three out of ten are attached to life,
Three out of ten are attached to death,
Three out of ten are just idly passing through.
Only one knows how to die and stay dead
And still go on living.

You mean Taoism? (Tao, pronounced "dow").

Some years back, my gf (now fiance), herself a fairly devout Catholic, gave me a few books on Taoism, including a softbound book that used comicbook-style narrative to put across stories that illustrate principles of Taoism.
I didn't really open the books until I was hip-deep in a family medical crisis and found myself spending lots of time sitting in a room in an icu.
Reading those books, especially the paperback, gave me a new perspective on life that helped me through those times.

the bible has everything about life in it.

the Tao Te Ching kicks the Bible's ass. it's a philosophy, not a religion.
- evad0
the bible is not a religion either.
people have made it into a religion.
if you can prove the bible wrong, then i'll agree with you that Tao Te Ching kicks the bible's ass.
