I enjoy listening to the Bhagavad Gita, not understanding one word,
but having read the book. So I just absorb the raw emotion in
the voices and music. Its somehow more pure because one avoids
the misconceptions that arise from normal words.

Shinto. This is the only Eastern religion that isn't designed for submission to an empire.

Its somehow more pure because one avoids the misconceptions that arise from normal words. I guess the writings are much more fascinating if one knew and was fluent in the original languages these philosophies were written in... I'm not expert but I believe some were written in the Sanskrit language or somethin like that? |

I've been always love zen-Buddhism. It is really awesome. Well, I think Japanese religion & traditions. Actually, there are too cruel for me (I don't like neither cruelty, nor rage or something).
I've started to read a book of logic development during the history. Sryazhkin "Becoming of Math Logic" (1967). It says in details about Indian logic systems which were pretty analytic. I found a pair of schools there: nyaa, and vaisheshika, that dealt with it. I can't say much more about it.
So, my choice, I think is Zen.

I also thoroughly enjoyed Sun Tzu's ancient art of war, btw |
