In the Beginning: An Introduction to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism

The basic principles of eastern philosophies have been practiced for at least 2,500 years. At the heart of all eastern philosophies is the belief expressed in the Chandogya Upanishad: "What that Unknowable is by which this universe subsists, that is the real, that is the soul, that art thou." In this study, best-selling author Blaize Clement explores the history, beliefs, and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, with adaptations of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
