Eastern belief systems, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Shinto have played major roles in the cultures of the East. Each tradition has emphasized its key themes and ideas in its sacred texts, stories, gods and goddesses, places of worship, art, music, and architecture. Are these ancient belief systems relevant today? Can they benefit and shape our individual growth?
Sadhguru speaks at a talk organized by the Dharma Civilization Foundation (http://www.dcfusa.org/) on Spirit of Eastern Wisdom: The Intelligence Within. He looks at how “Eastern wisdom does not come from the limited amount of data gathered from books or scriptures but by enhancing one’s perception.”
The talk was organized in support of the Swami Vivekananda Endowed Chair in Modern India and Indian Diaspora Studies. This chair is being established at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to conduct accurate and authentic studies of contemporary, emergent India, its opportunities and challenges.
