 While the Tao Te Ching is most famous , there are many other important texts in traditional Taoism . Taishang Ganying Pian ( " Treatise of the Exalted One on Response and Retribution " ) discusses sin and ethics , and has become a popular morality tract in the last few centuries . It asserts that those in harmony with Tao will live long and fruitful lives . The wicked , and their descendants , will suffer and have shortened lives .
