Features: In Europe, philosophy and belief are rather like decorations rather than being life itself, as in the East. The wisdom of Eastern life will be the spiritual sustenance to save modern Western civilization from its predicament. These ideas expand the soul of philosophy into a comprehensive and vast system, and they will further extend into broader and more profound fields and scopes. The West is still waiting for the conquest from the East. The author, with the perspective of a Westerner who understands the Eastern spirit, explains the extraordinary Indian classical philosophy, yoga, and Buddhism, as well as the mystical and life-enchanted Persian Sufism, and the personal moral perfectionism of Confucianism and Mencius, and the Laozi philosophy that pursues absolute spiritual freedom.
