Ancient Eastern Philosophy
Chinese & Indian Metaphysics & Mysticism

We have a unique gallery of Ancient Eastern Philosophy Prints with quotes from famous Chinese / Indian Philosophers and Mystics (Lao Tzu, Confucius, Buddha, Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi and the Dalai Lama). I will be adding sankara, Vivekananda, Radhakrishnan, Iyengar, Patanjali, Chuang Tzu, Lama Anagarika Govinda and quotes from the Bhagavad Gita, Rig Veda and the Upanishads to our Eastern Metaphysics collection in the future.

We hope you find our selection of quotes and portraits from the Ancient Eastern (Chinese / Indian) Philosophers interesting, wise, inspiring and useful!

We also have a comprehensive Philosophy Physics Metaphysics website with some interesting pages on Ancient Eastern Philosophy - Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism and Taoism. These pages are rather unique because they not only provide a summary of their main ideas (founded on the dynamic unity of reality), but most importantly explain this interconnection of all things (i.e. how matter exists and interacts with all other matter in the universe). see also; Physics, Philosophy, Cosmology, Evolution, Religion

Ancient Eastern Philosophy: The most important characteristic of the Eastern world view, is the awareness of the unity and mutual interrelation of all things and events, the experience of all phenomena in the world as manifestations of a basic oneness. (Fritjof Capra)The most important characteristic of the Eastern world view is the awareness of the unity and mutual interrelation of all things and events, the experience of all phenomena in the world as manifestations of a basic oneness. All things are seen as interdependent and inseparable parts of this cosmic whole; as different manifestations of the same ultimate reality. ... In Eastern philosophy, the main terms used in Hinduism and Buddhism have dynamic connotations. The word Brahman is derived from the sanskrit root 'brih' (to grow) and thus suggests a reality which is dynamic and alive. (Fritjof Capra, The Tao of Physics)
