Taoism believes salvation is not necessary. There is nothing one needs to be saved from. Belief in salvation leads to belief in damnation (what else to be saved from?) and since Taoists don’t believe in damnation either why would they need salvation?
Instead their goal in life is to “Live simply in harmony with the Tao and not excessively pursue material wealth, stature, or prestige, and it will lead to a joyful life.” (Rasmussen).
“Even death has no particular meaning to Taoists.” (Rasmussen). Life and death are merely two aspects of a single reality. Ones life comes from the oneness (Tao) and goes back into it. (Exposing Satanism). One finds answers to life’s problems by inner meditation and outer observation rather than praying to a god who can hear and act, like some other religions.
