Description
Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism form the core of Eastern philosophy, each offering distinct insights into life, ethics, and the human experience. Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, focuses on overcoming suffering and achieving enlightenment through mindfulness and ethical practices. Taoism, rooted in the teachings of Laozi, emphasizes harmony with the natural world, simplicity, and balance through concepts like wu wei (non-action). Confucianism, based on Confucius’ teachings, centers on social harmony, relationships, and moral integrity, advocating for empathy and community welfare. Together, these philosophies provide a rich framework for personal and social ethics.
