About The Author

Confucius

A teacher, thinker, and philosopher, Confucius (c. 551-479 BCE) was born in the Chinese state of Lu. His lifelong teachings of filial duty, benevolence, morality, and sincerity developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism, which has deeply influenced Eastern philosophies ever since.

John Baldock studied art history at the École du Louvre, Paris. His encounter with sacred art led to an exploration of the world’s major religious and spiritual traditions. After a period of teaching art and art history in schools in England, during which he continued his spiritual studies, he left teaching to pursue a career as a writer. His books include The Essence of Sufism, The Essence of Rumi, and an anthology of Zen wisdom.
