Abstract:

"While the major religions of the Western world affirm a belief in a single God, these two Chinese spiritual movements focus inward on human behavior and thought. Discover the life of the man known as Confucius, and examine how his philosophy and social doctrine have impacted Chinese culture. Learn about Lao-Tzu, the founder of Taoism, and enter the world once shrouded in secrecy as the philosophy and rituals of Taoism are explained."--Container || Narrated by Academy Award winner, Ben Kingsley, the Religions of the World series employs sumptuous location footage, interviews with experts, and fast-paced graphics to detail the history and central beliefs of world religions, show the customs and traditions associated with each religion, and examine the religion's influence on world history. While each video stands as an independent production, the programs, when viewed as a series, reveal striking similarities and differences among world religions large and small. || Teachers Guides for each program accompany the DVD editions and are available for download at http://www.libraryvideo.com. || Grades 9 and up.
