Thx for invitation!
My late dad is ZhengYi Grand Master 正一道長 for 60 years in service. I’m a freethinker & a professional Cantonese Taoist 廣府喃嘸。
Chinese Government took power in 1949 and banned all religious practices, traditional Chinese Characters, where Commonism is the Supreme Power after all.
The continuity of Tao lies on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore & some other countries.
As China is influential now & temples located in mainland, they claimed that they are the genuine under all kind of “Entertainment Establishments 娛樂公司”.
I would like to share from Cultural perspective which is neutral in nature & discourage for superstitious.

“A way that can be walked
is not The way,
A name that can be named
is not The Name
Tao is both Named and Nameless
As Nameless, it is the origin of all things
As Named, it is the mother of all things
A mind free of thought,
merged within itself,
beholds the essence of Tao
A mind filled with thought,
identified with its own perceptions,
beholds the mere forms of this world
Tao and this world seem different
but in truth they are one and the same
The only difference is in what we call them
How deep and mysterious is this unity
How profound, how great!
It is the truth beyond the truth,
the hidden within the hidden
It is the path to all wonder,
the gate to the essence of everything!”
