Looking for a Taoist master

You can see if there is a Taoist temple near where you live.

Today, Taoism is divided into two major sects: one is the Zhengyi sect, and the other is the Quanzhen sect.

The Zhengyi sect can get married and have children, but the Quanzhen sect cannot.

To join Taoism, one is to become a formal Taoist priest, and the other is to become a Taoist lay practitioner.

There are two ways to become a formal Taoist priest. One is to become a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen sect, and the other is to become a Taoist priest of the Zhengyi sect. Both are required to complete the formalities of becoming a disciple, but the former must go to a Taoist temple to become a monk, while the latter does not need to become a monk.

To become a Taoist lay practitioner, you only need to go to a Taoist temple to apply for a conversion certificate.

Generally, Taoist temples that accept newly ordained Taoist priests also require the monks to have an ID card and a certificate issued by the police station where the household registration is located to prove that the monk has a clean history and no criminal record.
