Taoism

Robert "RZA" Diggs is the founder of the Wu Tang Clan. He wrote "The Tao of Wu" in 2009, which made the New York Times best-seller list.

From the Jesuits to Ronald Reagan to RZA, the worldwide appeal of Daoism endures

Belief

Daoism isn’t usually on the short list of major world religions. There is no Daoist equivalent to the Pope, Dalia Lama, or holy city of Mecca. But the global appeal of Daoism is still strong.

Daoism gains a foothold, again, in China

Belief
A shrine in Xuanwu Lake park in Nanjing is a popular spot where people submit personal wishes - written on red ribbons - to a higher power.

In atheistic China, people use ribbons in a park to appeal to ‘higher powers’
