Description:

This book contains the following three titles: Buddhism: Buddhism is a spiritual and philosophical tradition founded on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, which means "the Enlightened One." Originating in India over 2,500 years ago, Buddhism offers a path for individuals seeking to understand the nature of suffering and the means to attain inner peace and enlightenment. Central to Buddhism are the concepts of mindfulness, compassion, and the interdependent nature of reality. Confucianism: Confucianism, one of the world’s oldest and most influential philosophies, has deeply shaped Chinese culture, governance, and social structures for over two millennia. Rooted in the teachings of Confucius, a revered teacher and philosopher who lived in ancient China, Confucianism is less a religion than a guiding framework for leading an ethical life, cultivating personal virtues, and fostering harmonious relationships. Shinto: Shinto, often referred to as "the way of the gods," is Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition, rich in rituals, beliefs, and practices that have evolved over centuries. Unlike many organized religions, Shinto does not have a single founder or a unified doctrine; instead, it is a diverse amalgamation of ancient animistic beliefs, reverence for nature, and deep respect for ancestral spirits. Taoism: Taoism, one of the world's most ancient spiritual traditions, offers profound insights into the nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all life. Originating in China over two thousand years ago, Taoism encompasses a rich tapestry of philosophy, spirituality, and practice that has influenced not only the Chinese culture but also the broader global community. This book aims to explore the essence of Taoism, its core teachings, and its relevance in the modern world. Duration - 5h 43m. Author - Amman Hirsch. Narrator - Sarah Johnson.
