Tao/Dao & De Explanation: These are two VERY IMPORTANT philosophical concepts you can't just put into any English words. As a matter of fact, wikipedia presents some explanations, which may not be perfect but at least give us a general idea. Example sentence(s):

道德 Explanation: I would suggest Principles for 道, Welldoing for 德, and Morality for 道德。 善,Goodness, alternatively put,德,Welldoing, which used to be combined by Confucianists with 道, Principles, to form the concept of 道德 --literally Principles and Welldoing. 道 was defined as heavenly and ethical principles, and 德,or 道德, the human acts consistent with those principles--Morality. |
