4 POLYTHEISTIC RELIGIONS OF EASTERN EURASIA HINDUISM BUDDHISM Symbol Founder / Patriarch Place and Date of Origin & Modern Extent Holy or Sacred Text Teaching or Core Beliefs Role of Women 4
5 CLASSICAL EASTERN SEMI-RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHES DAOISM CONFUCIANISM Symbol Founder / Patriarch Laozi (Lao-tzu), otherwise known as the Old Master Place and Date of Origin & Modern Extent c. 500 BCE during the Zhou Dynasty; would become popularized throughout China c. 200 BCE; birth/death dates unknown (probably c.500 BCE) Holy or Sacred Text Teaching or Core Beliefs Tao-te Ching (Book of the Way) stresses the path toward wisdom through experience; I- Ching (Book of Changes) analyzes & predicts future events Mostly Practiced in China Dictates that the universe and all within are permeated by a natural order that must be felt and experienced to be understood. Temporal (worldly) matters are of little concern; seeking knowledge of the Dao (or Way) through nature, poetry, and experience is all that matters. Great emphasis on the individual and the balance with nature. (Yin-Yang) A true Taoist embraces the nature of things, and does not waste effort effecting their whim on life, but rather surrenders themselves to experience Taoist rituals permeated other ancient practices, and commonly became associated with the mystical. Co-exists within Eastern concepts of Buddhism and Confucianism. Many Mahayana Buddhist sects have elements of Daoism infused in their teachings (underscores Chinese influence on the spread of Buddhism to Korea & Japan) For Confucianism, the Taoist belief in balance accentuates the balance between benevolence and respect that superiors must show their subordinates. Role of Women Daoism makes no concrete distinction between men and women; all individuals are equal in light of the Dao 5
