"Way of the universe" in Chinese philosophy (3)

I believe the answer is:

tao

(Other definitions for tao that I've seen before include "In China, code of behaviour in harmony with natural order" , "The way of Chinese philosophy" , "path of Chinese" , "Universal principle of Chinese philosophy" , "Chinese philosophical principle" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
