The Way of Fu Tsu

Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism – together have all left a tremendous impact upon all of those who have lived within eastern societies. Nearly 2,500 years ago, the knowledge that was expounded by these three central teachings gave birth a unique, synergized understanding of reality.
