Tao or Dao roughly mean "Way" Or "Path" but it is a "Divine way" Or "Divine path" It is the begining of all things but not causes things. Chinese people has a saying that " If you are doing good means that you are close to Dao, if you are doing bad means that you are away from Dao.

The word 'Tao' does not translate conveniently into any word in English. In fact it is a word with many meanings in Chinese, and the Tao Te Ching says it is used as a convenience, a word for a concept that otherwise has no name, and which it only imperfectly represents. Used as a noun, it often means "way," but I am told that, used as a verb, it often means "speak."There are other words from other languages very like this. One is the Greek word "logos," which also means word, idea, realm, or way. It was translated into "verbum" in Latin, and so as "word," in English. This is how it appears in the first verse of the Gospel according to St John, "In the beginning was the word..."The reason I bring this up is that when the Bible was translated into Chinese, the word used for "logos" was "Tao." It is a concept that is beyond understanding, and so is beyond naming.
