From Wikipedia:
Some have argued for an origin of Dasein in Chinese philosophy and Japanese philosophy: according to Tomonobu Imamichi, Heidegger's concept of Dasein was inspired — although Heidegger remained silent on this — by Okakura Kakuzo's concept of das-in-der-Welt-sein (being-in-the-worldness, worldliness) expressed in The Book of Tea to describe Zhuangzi's Taoist philosophy, which Imamichi's teacher had offered to Heidegger in 1919, after having followed lessons with him the year before

Taoism and Heideggerianism are still vastly different fields, responding to fundamentally different things.

What is Metaphysics? is a great introduction to Heidy. It's in the Basic Writings book.
>>7870289
He looks like a man who could BTFO jews. What's his most redpilled book?
>>7870500
His recently released black books (some private journals) talk about such classic topics such as the Jews and their lies.
If you're looking for secondary lit, Dreyfus is the standard choice, and he's decent. If you find his lectures on Heidy on youtube, he uses most of the first part to talk about secondary lit and what it does. You can look that up.
Otherwise Being and time. There's no way around it, and it's more a test of patience than difficulty. If you're willing to try to understand each section by disecting it, you can, almost without previous knowledge of philosophy.

His 1920s lecture courses, especially the ones on Aristotle and Plato. The lecture courses have a lot more in the way of explanation for certain ideas, and you get to see him develop his interpretations and arguments from the ground up (so it also puts the reader in a better position for determining agreement or disagreement).
Hardest part is the fact that a lot of Greek gets used. If you have access to any Plato or Aristotle, you can use standard translations just fine to help with that; it'll also make clear differences between how Heidegger understands the Greek, and many translators.

That's not really true, with respect to Dasein, anyway; Dasein is Heidegger's philosophical translation of Aristotle's use of 'psuche', the Greek word for "soul". Now, "Being-in the-World" certainly does come from that translation.
