The term 'Way of the East' is often used to refer to Taoism, which is a Chinese philosophical and religious tradition that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao, or the natural order of the universe. The Tao is believed to be the source of all creation and is seen as the ultimate truth behind all things. Taoism is often represented by the symbol of the three-legged toad, which is also known as TAO (3 letters).
