East Asian religions

In the study of comparative religion, the East Asian religions (also known as Far Eastern religions or Taoic religions) form a subset of the Eastern religions. This group includes Confucianism, Shinto, Taoism, and elements of Mahayana Buddhism; as well as new religious movements such as I-Kuan Tao (Yiguandao), Chen Tao, Cao Đài, Hòa Hảo, Chondogyo, and Jeung San Do.

These traditions or religious philosophies focus on the East Asian concept of Tao ("The Way"; pinyin dào, Korean do, Japanese tō or dō, Vietnamese đạo).

The place of East Asian religions among major religious groups is comparable to the Abrahamic religions and Indian religions. East Asian religions are dominant in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and other countries within the East Asian cultural sphere.

Early Chinese philosophies defined Tao and advocated cultivating Te in that Tao. Some ancient schools have merged into traditions with different names or are no longer active, such as Mohism (and many others of the Hundred Schools of Thought), while some such as Taoism persist to the modern day. East Asian beliefs include polytheism, nontheism, henotheism, monotheism, pantheism, panentheism and agnosticism. East Asian religions have many Western adherents, though their interpretations may differ significantly from traditional East Asian thought and culture.
