Clergy = priests, monks, and nuns Today, there are 20 million followers of Taoism worldwide, most of whom live in China, Taiwan, or Southeast Asia. The Tao-te Ching (or Dao De Jing) is the central text of Taoism. The emphasis of Daoism is on spiritual harmony within the individual, which complements Confucianism's focus on social duty.
