Proper conduct in Confucianism (3)

I believe the answer is:

tao

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
