Current Stage
Foundation Stage
The Temple Project is in the foundation stage. TaoDaoism is building public education, proposal materials, governance standards, project-tracking methods, donor transparency language, and community pathways before any claim of a completed physical temple.

The Relationship Between TaoDaoism and the Temple
TaoDaoism is the founding platform and support engine. It creates education, media, community pathways, project materials, and early-stage funding support. The Temple of Dragon Clouds and Tranquility should become a distinct institution when it is legally, financially, and operationally ready.
TaoDaoism Does
- Teach Taoism and temple culture.
- Develop the public education library.
- Build community and supporter pathways.
- Support early planning and proposal work.
- Model transparent project tracking.
The Future Temple Should Do
- Hold its own governance and finances.
- Maintain altar, ritual, and sanctuary responsibilities.
- Operate physical or hybrid temple programs.
- Track restricted temple funds separately.
- Publish appropriate public reports.
Next Action
Support the Foundation
At this stage, support should be framed around education, planning, governance preparation, community formation, project modeling, and future readiness. Physical construction language should wait until legal, land, permitting, and funding conditions are real.
