Spirit of the East provides an illustrated, in-depth but accessible introduction to the major faiths and philosophies of India, China and Japan. The book focuses not only on the inner spirit of the East, that is the religious teachings, scriptures, lives of teachers, ethics and morals but also on its outer manifestation in the world of affairs through rituals, myths, architecture, holy places and symbols. Further the interplay between the historical, cultural and religious beliefs of each of the Eastern traditions is explored and illustrated.
