Original Root Order (原根門) is an autonomous order of Daoist cultivators founded in the United States of America in 2019, Year of the Yin-Earth Pig. We are a project of Old Oak School of Dao.
Our mission is to share Laozi’s teaching & practice with the world – to preserve & transmit the view, method, & fruition of Laozi’s wuweidao to those inspired to commune with original nature.
Our vision is to grow a supportive community of dedicated practitioners deeply engaged in our own study & practice and openly communicating within the group and beyond for the betterment of all.
We are a discreet group focused on the personal cultivation of sincere adepts. We practice individually, guided closely in an apprenticeship involving three levels of training: novice, initiate, & fully vested adept.
Novices start with a one-year initiation in our Wuweidao Cultivation Group. This initiation constitutes a complete transmission of wuweidao and lays the foundation for more extensive cultivation.
Initiates are eligible to enter our 60-moon Original Root Investiture program to refine their cultivation and receive further initiation in contemplative ritual and Jindan (Gold Elixir).
Upon completing investiture, adepts are eligible to become fully vested members of our order, provided they remain committed to continuing the engaged practice of wuweidao.
The training of vested adepts continues indefinitely, and as their cultivation ripens, the order supports them in carrying our lineage forward as authorized teachers.
