We initiated a new study this past fall, "Theosophy and World Religions," based on material received from the National Lodge of the Theosophical Society in America. Each month we will explore the growth of religion, from primal religion all the way up to the new age. The course covers the relationship of theosophy and esoteric teaching to the exoteric religions of the world. It is important to us as Theosophists to understand the world's religions and their connection to the timeless inner truths known to the wise from the beginning. We will try to look at the timeless spiritual heritage of each religion, yet also put each in context of our troubled planet and its combative cultures. Please plan to join us for these discussions.
Part 10. Chinese Religion. "The religion of the vast nation of China has traditionally been seen as comprised of 'Three Teachings'-Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Despite a few tensions over China's long history, these faiths are not usually perceived by the Chinese as competitive, as Western denominations might be, but as complementary. Mot people traditionally had a relationship to all three: Confucianism provided the basic moral code; Taoism dealt with the world of magic, spirits, and inner mysticism, and Buddhism with karma and reincarnation."
