Studies of Far East Religions

The Architect has decided that there is a need to focus more on the Religions of the Far East as they seem to be relatively unknown within the Community. As with other Boards, only the utmost respect must be shown when discussing any Religion. You do not have to agree, but at the same time you do not have to display hateful or prejudice text.

Far East Religions covered within this Board are:

* Bahá'í Faith (slightly more than half of all adherents are in Asia)
* Buddhism (Japan,Sri Lanka, Korea, Singapore, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, India)
* Hinduism (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Bali)
* Jainism (India)
* Shinto (Japan)
* Sikhism (India, Malaysia, Hong Kong)
* Taoism (China, Vietnam, Singapore, and Taiwan)
* Zoroastrianism (Iran, India, Pakistan)
* Shamanism (Siberia)
* Animism (Eastern India)

NOTE: Islam and Christian Based Religions have their own Board and are therefore NOT covered with this Board even though they are prevalent in some Far East countries.
