In this course we will cover the rise and development of the Taoist and Confucian traditions; explore their ideas, values, and practices; consider the ways in which they are being modified and applied in the modern world; and examine their similarities to and differences from the Bahá’í teachings. By studying Chinese thought and values, Bahá’ís will obtain a greater appreciation of the Bahá’í Faith and acquire experience in sharing the perspective of their own faith with Chinese people in an informed and respectful manner.
