Friend dyanaparjna,

How does Taoism view the nature of reality?

Do not know if it will be helpful but it led me to find this:

When one realizes the need for balance between yin and yang, and stops struggling against that which is natural, one can gain contentment through wu wei, enlightened non-action. This involves discarding elaborate or needlessly complex plans to improve oneself and the world. Instead, one must accept the world (and oneself) as it is. It involves giving up materialistic desires and living life unplanned, from one fluid moment to another. This route leads one to Te, a word that in various forms can mean "moral virtue," "bounty," and "power or force," or "gratefulness." One learned to live life spontaneously rather than become trapped in the process of preparing for the unpreparable, avoiding the inevitable, or seeking the unobtainable. Such a route always leads to a lack of balance.

Look up 11th C. Neoconfucian Zhou Dunyi's "Taijitu Shuo" (Explanation of the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate) document for one view.

There are many possible views... or none.

How does Taoism view the nature of reality?

As a continuous flow of phenomenon.
Everything arising everything passing away.

Also, what everyone else said, if necessary.
