Daoyuan



Daoyuan (Chinese: 道院, meaning in English: Sanctuary of the Tao) is one of the Way of Former Heaven sects, (Xiantian Dadao) which are syncretist groupings of Chinese origin, that strive for unity of Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism (and sometimes Christianism and Islam). Daoyuan was founded in 1916 in Shandong by Liu Shao-ji (劉紹基) and followers under the name Daodeshe (道德社), "Society of Dao and Virtue".
