Ok. That is correct. BUT- > It is a very interesting science, it is known as > the accoustic science. Now, Tantra became Taota . Taota after further > distortion, further metamorphosis, became Taoa; in modern language Tao > (Chinese). Sorry buddy. "Tao" in chinese means "the way" this term has been in china in a very pure form for 10,000 years. "Tao" is more related to the sanskrit term "Sat" which translated directly to chinese reads "wuji". Doesn't sound like Tantra to me. > Taoism, don't you know? Its root is Tantra. Hardly. Taoism is 20,000 years old (based on the i-ching, which is the OLDEST written document in the world), so there is no way it could have come from tantra. All of these sciences you speak of have more than one originator, you know. I know vajreyana tantra, kundalini yoga, and qigong (taoist). Same goal, different methods. Of the three, qigong is the most developed and comprehensive. By standards of qigong (which PREDATES tantra, by the way) Kundalini Yoga and Vajreyana Tantrism are INCOMPLETE. One look at the differences of the energetic anatomies of each system will prove this.
