sentient beings who must tread the path of Nirvā a themselves to attain the spiritual
awakening called bodhi and see truth and reality as it is. The Buddhist system of insight and
meditation practice is not believed to have been revealed divinely, but by the understanding
of the true nature of the mind, which must be discovered by personally treading a spiritual
path guided by the Buddha's teachings."

114 "... Laozi..."
"The Daodejing, often called simply the Laozi after its reputed author, describes the Dao (or
Tao) as the mystical source and ideal of all existence: it is unseen, but not transcendent,
immensely powerful yet supremely humble, being the root of all things. According to the
Daodejing, humans have no special place within the Dao, being just one of its many ("ten
thousand") manifestations. People have desires and free will (and thus are able to alter their
own nature). Many act "unnaturally", upsetting the natural balance of the Dao. The
Daodejing intends to lead students to a "return" to their natural state, in harmony with Dao.
Language and conventional wisdom are critically assessed. Taoism views them as
inherently biased and artificial, widely using paradoxes to sharpen the point.
Wu wei, literally "non-action" or "not acting", is a central concept of the Daodejing. The
concept of wu wei is very complex and reflected in the words' multiple meanings, even in
English translation; it can mean "not doing anything", "not forcing", "not acting" in the
theatrical sense, "creating nothingness", "acting spontaneously", and "flowing with the
moment."
Laozi used the term broadly with simplicity and humility as key virtues, often in contrast to
selfish action. On a political level, it means avoiding such circumstances as war, harsh laws
and heavy taxes. Some Taoists see a connection between wu wei and esoteric practices,
such as the "sitting in oblivion" (emptying the mind of bodily awareness and thought) found
in the Zhuangzi.
Taoism is a religion addressing the quest of immortality."

115 "...Zoroaster..."
"The best known (Zoroastrians were the) Magi, the "Wise Men from the East" in the Bible,
(who brought gifts to Bethlehem) and whose graves Marco Polo claimed to have seen in
what is today the district of Saveh, near Tehran, Iran. In English, the term is the origin of
the words magic and magician.
"Many traits of Zoroastrianism can be traced back to the culture and beliefs of the proto-
Indo-Iranian period, and Zoroastrianism consequently shares some elements with the
historical Vedic religion that also has its origins in that era.
Central to Zoroastrianism is the emphasis on moral choice, to choose between the
responsibility and duty for which one is in the mortal world, or to give up this duty and
so facilitate the work of druj. Similarly, predestination is rejected in Zoroastrian teaching.
Humans bear responsibility for all situations they are in, and in the way they act to one
another. Reward, punishment, happiness and grief all depend on how individuals live
their life.
