I believe the answer is:

tao

(Other definitions for tao that I've seen before include "Chinese way to be followed" , "The way of Chinese philosophy" , "Chinese philosophical principle" , "Confucian way to be followed" , "Element of Chinese philosophy" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
