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 my 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 phulosophy of Yoga entails much more than the physical asanas. 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. Compiled by Paul Reps By Benjamin Radcliff and Amy Radcliff By Charlotte Joko Beck By Charlotte Joko Beck By Pema Chodron By Baba Ram Das . The Bhagavad Gita is to Yoga what the Dao De Jing is to Daoism. There are many English translations of it, each with their own spin. If you're interested in reading the Bhagavad Gita, my advice would be to search through the various translations until you find one that speaks to your heart. I have two translations: Baghavad Gita>/b> (or The Message of the Master), Yogi Ramacharaka The Bhagavad Gita (As it is), Swami A. C. Bhaktivedanta This is an extremely old text, and it's been said "Pantajali to Yoga is like Buddha to Buddhism". As with the Bhagavad Gita, there are many English translations of the words of Patanjali. The version I have is: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Charles Johnston By Paramahansa Yogananda By Swami Vishnudevananda By Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche By Haridas Chaudhuri This book is a MUST-READ for anyone who is interested in Yoga.
