Taoism in Malaysia

History

Taoism arrived in Malaysia with Chinese settlers. Taoist practice later flourished as an increasing number of Chinese settled in Malaysia.[1]

Many Taoist followers also worship ancestors and bodhisattva as these beliefs have traditionally enjoyed a peaceful coexistence, thereby leading to obscured delineation between them. There are also Chinese salvationist religions such as Wuweiism (無為教), the De religion which has also been well established in East Malaysia and Thailand, and Zhenkongism (真空教) that was popular among Hakka people before World War II for stopping people taking opium.[2]

gollark: Actually, I could do it once on the short video and concat it 2770 times, that might work.
gollark: Good* reasons. And I'm aware of better codecs, but actually reencoding it would burn my CPU.
