Eastern Religions 2

Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto, and Zen

Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism are three of the traditional religions

(philosophies) of China, while Shinto is a traditional religion of Japan. Zen is an outgrowth of both Buddhism and Taoism. All contribute to the spiritual depth and breadth and quality and value of the world religion.

The exposure of far eastern religions to western peoples (and to some extent

vice versa) has helped substantially in bridging the gaps between eastern and western cultures. In (at least partially) understanding and respecting the spiritual and cultural-ethical framework of eastern religions, the western student can more effectively relate to the eastern cultures.
