The Eastern Philosophies are about the individual, and the individual's choice to find their own path, and not interfering with other's free will, or forcing your views onto others. That's why you don't get Buddhists or Taoists door knocking. The scriptures of Taoist/Buddhist philsophy is there for anyone to read, but it's up to each individual to read it, or follow it if they want to.
For change only comes from within.
It's a really challenging philosophy, in this world, in a world which has Western values of 'action, heroics, salvation'. But I really have faith in Karma and I believe that the world is perfect, as in, we are all where we are suppose to be. I have these moments of amazing clarity where it's all so clear to me, but mostly it's challenging.
Because it's about letting go. And the Western society is about holding on.
It's not easy, and yet it is. I wish I could be more clear. I probably sound crazy, but it really works for me, and it's my truth.
