BOOKS ON BUDDHISM, ZEN, YOGA, etc. |
Although my library consists mainly of books on Daoism, there are many other Eastern philosophies which provide inspiration. Buddhism originated in India and then traveled to China, where it became a religion that has been followed to this day by many Chinese people. Up until the time of Mao Tse Tung, Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism were taught together in the public schools of China. Zen originated in Japan, and it's considered to be a combination of Daoism and Buddhism. Yoga had its origin in India, and it's believed that the major text of Yoga - The Bhagavad Gita was written long before any other known book in the world. Although Yoga has been thought of as a physical practice in the West, the philosophy of Yoga entails much more than the physical asanas. --------- The following is only a list of books in my library. There are links below each book to pages where you can find more information on the book and purchase it if desired.  Translated from the Pali by P. Lal I picked up my copy of Lal's Dhammapada in 1969, and I can see that there are many other translations available of the Dhammapada now. The Dhammapada is considered to be the complete teachings of Buddah.
