Eastern Philosophy - Looking for a New Outlook

[AntiVirus]

So, recently ive had a strange interest in Eastern Philosophy and have been reading here a lot. Recently ive felt in-content with my current spiritual existence and outlook on life. I have only briefly looked into the subject due to the fact that i really don't know where to start.

I sit here looking for quotes, text, or subjects to research, and to submerse myself in. I look to emerge with some new ideals to hold tight and and with a new mental equilibrium established.

Thanks to all who contribute, I appreciate it.

Read Seng-Chao's Treatise: Part One. It's a recent thread on here, and it's Eastern indeed.

a list of eastern philosophers

now if you want communism philosophers cause i read someone used sth stalin said, tell me and i will link again.(alhough i dont really like stalin. if you want sth like that read lenin or marx)

the last books i read about eastern philosophy and really liked were
greek kabalah:the symbolism and arithmology in ancient years by kieren barry

travelling:japan by N.kazantzakis. it is a book about his trips in japan and he also comments on japanese culture religion and lifestyle.

teachers of wisdom by jonh g. bennet

the return of the great Godess by marija gimbutas

these are not asian philosophers but the books are about eastern philosophy. if you have no clue about eastern philosophy its better to start reading the philosophers first and then general books.
Hope i helped. enjoy your reading.xxx
