The workings of the mind are examined with great precision in these teachings of the Buddha that originated in India over 2000 years back. However the way to freedom lies not in a scholarly study of these teachings, but instead in practicing meditation and mindfulness.

Impact of a drop of water in water, a common analogy for Brahman and the Ātman In Hinduism , Brahman ( bráhman ) is the unchanging, infinite , immanent , and transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter , energy , time , space , being , and everything beyond in this Universe ; that is the one supreme, universal spirit.

Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that is becoming popular in the West for its emphasis on simplicity, naturalness, and harmony. It is sometimes classified as a religion, but unlike most religions, modern philosophical Taoism does not require any specific form of belief or initiation. Take some quiet time for yourself and read the Tao Te Ching , an ancient book of Chinese folk wisdom attributed to the sixth-century BC sage Lao-Tzu .
A lot of people seem look to Taoism for a justification for their “doing what they want.”
Taoism (pronounced and also spelled Daoism ; Chinese : 道教 or 道家 ; pinyin : dàojiào or dàojiā ) refers to a philosophy or religious tradition that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao ( Chinese : 道 ; pinyin : dào ), the source and essence of everything that exists. The term Tao (or Dao , depending on the romanization system used) originally means "way", "path" or "principle", and can be found in many Chinese philosophies and religions. In Taoism, however, it denotes an obscure metaphysical force which is ultimately ineffable: "The Tao that can be named is not the absolute Tao." [ 1 ]
