Lao Tzu was the founder of Taoism, not Buddhism. He wrote the Tao Te ching, a book of paradoxes that reveal the makings of an ideal society. Whether he existed or not is up to debate. Taoism is a submission to the “way.” The yin and yang are a part of Taoism or the working together of opposing forces. In Taoism, society is the cause of all problems.
