Religion in SE Asia
Buddhism - The teaching that life is permeated with suffering
caused by desire, that suffering ceases when desire ceases, and
that enlightenment obtained through right conduct, wisdom,
and meditation releases one from desire, suffering, and rebirth.
Introduced in India and popular in SE Asia (China).
Confucianism - The political morality taught by Confucius
and his disciples, which forms the basis of the Chinese
jurisprudence and education. It can hardly be called a religion,
as it does not worship any god. In Confucianism, it is believed
that there was a natural order in the universe and in human
relationships.
Taoism - A Chinese mystical philosophy founded in the sixth
century B.C. that teaches conformity to the Tao by unassertive
action and simplicity; concerned with obtaining long life and
good fortune often by magical means.
