Hinduism went over really well. They had lots of questions about the nature of Brahman and Karma and reincarnation, and how "evil" works.

Confucianism... Not so much. Confucius (Kong fu tze) is admitedly very dry, and all the talk of Filial Piety and the Virtuous Ruler can get a little... iffy.

Taoism, however, is full of poetry, magic, and mysticism. And they seem to be taking to it, quite well. We've studied some of the Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi) material, and we're moving into the Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing), tomorrow.

After that? Zen.

Aw yes.
