I always felt Buddhist "in the head" and Taoist "in the heart" … very into the Buddha's words and concepts but not into Buddhist meditation (I have done several retreats, they were "useful" but never liked meditating as such). On the other hand years of Tai Chi and Zhang Zhuang were natural for me.

Ultimately I squared the circle with Dzogchen – the early teachings (Garab Dorge eg) [but perhaps not the later teachings which (as always) got more complex (and "Tibetan")] are a clear connector and betray the naturalness of Taoism whislt retaining the view of Buddhism.

As for the phsyios-energetic transformation sa you say it seems to need to be "provoked" as it were [thru' a vast range of seemingly different practices - 84,000 dhamma doors] – so there is no real difference between the effort required to "attain the Tao" and "get Nirvana" [to use conventional language].

Taoism is about wu-wei not "doing nothing". To enable wu-wei one needs at first methods [this is generally very under-rated in western esp. American if I may say descriptions].

Good luck and thansk for posting

"Cohousing is a type of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their own neighborhoods. Cohousing residents are consciously committed to living as a community. The physical design encourages both social contact and individual space. Private homes contain all the features of conventional homes, but residents also have access to extensive common facilities such as open space, courtyards, a playground and a common house."

Anyway, at least in Taiwan, many temples have a Taoist, folk and Buddhist shrines in them.
