Difficult to understand

Its probably difficult because Taoism is already hard

Response from developer

You’re right, Taoism isn’t easy to understand. These ideas have been passed down for over 2,000 years, and even for someone who grew up in China like me, they can still be difficult to grasp. That’s actually one of the reasons I started making Oriens. I wanted to make these ancient ideas a little more approachable, and hopefully help more people become curious about them. For the next update, I’m also thinking about organizing the content into different difficulty levels, so beginners can start with simpler ideas and gradually explore the deeper ones. I know there’s still a lot I can improve. Thanks for giving Oriens a try and sharing your thoughts!

Part of my daily routine

I use it every day. The cards are beautiful and it’s a really nice way to read a little philosophy without feeling like work.
