Tao Speaks: What is the BIGGEST challenge for Modern Western Taoists?

What is the BIGGEST challenge for Modern Western Taoists?

I really would like some help getting this poll distributed. Part of my attendance at the upcoming "1st International Summit on Laozi and Daoist Culture", November 5-7, Beijing, China, is to write an academic paper and I will be using the results of this poll. The paper will be about the challenges we Western Taoists have and this is an opportunity to deliver a message to the contemporary luminaries of Taoism to help us have better access to Taoist teachings here in the west.

If you can publish/share this poll with your friends I would be very much appreciated.
