THE GOOD RELIGION and THE INSTITUTIONALIZED ZOROASTRIANISM Ali A. Jafarey Foreword Good Conscience the religion of Zarathushtra, is, historically, the first and foremost monotheistic religion in the world. But like other religions, it also has continually changed from its pristine purity to the present institutionalized form of Zoroastrianism. The Zarathushtrian Assembly has been established by its founding members with the sole aim of restoring the Good Religion of Zarathushtra to its pristine purity and activating its progressive universality. The unique movement has raised a few questions: What is the pristine purity of the Good Religion? How does it differ from the Institutionalized Zoroastrianism practiced by the remnants of a once great world religion? How would a restoration to a remote past place the religion on the path to progress and promotion in a fast-moving modern world? This booklet provides the answers to these questions and more. It is hoped that it will illuminate the subject and open the way to an increasing study of mâñthra

23. Buddhism And Its Spread Along The Silk Road The civilizations which flourished along the Silk Road in the first millennium CE were open to cultural and religious influences from both East and West. Many religions, including Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, gained new followers. But it was Buddhism, travelling the trade routes of the Silk Road, which became the common factor uniting the different peoples of the Silk Road. http://www.silk-road.com/artl/buddhism.shtml

Buddhism and Its Spread Along the Silk Road "There one sees a structure of an elevation prodigious in height; it is supported by gigantic pillars and covered with paintings of all the birds created by God. In the interior are two immense idols carved in the rock and rising from the foot of the mountains to the summit....One cannot see anything comparable to these statues in the whole world." -Yakut describing Bamiyan in his geographical dictionary in 1218 Besides silk, paper and other goods, the Silk Road carried another commodity which was equally significant in world history. Along with trade and migration, the world's oldest international highway was the vehicle which spread Buddhism through Central Asia. The transmission was launched from northwestern India to modern Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Xinjiang (Chinese Turkistan), China, Korea and Japan. Buddhism not only affected the lives and cultures on those regions but also left us with a world of wonders in arts and literature. (Figure on the right: Princes from Central Asian states in Lamentation, Dunhuang Cave 158. After Sakyamuni entered nirvana, princes of different Central Asian states gathered to express their grief, crying, beating their chests, piercing themselves with swords or knives, or cutting off their noses or ears. This painting not only depicts their devotions to Buddha, but also accurately presents the appearances, garments and customs of different nations along the Silk Road and the history of cultural exchange between them.)

Zoroastrians and Parsis in Science Fiction Bud absorbed more than he wanted to know about the Parsis, their... religion, their tendency to wander around, even their... cuisine, which looked weird but made his mouth water anyway. - Neal Stephenson The Diamond Age This annotated bibliography list, a subset derived from the Adherents.com Religion in Literature database, is intended as a resource for literary research. It lists mainstream science fiction and fantasy novels, short stories and movies (speculative fiction) which contain references to Zoroastrianism. These include references to Parsis and to Zarathustra/Zoroaster. This list is not comprehensive, but it does list all Hugo- and Nebula-winning novels with Zoroastrian references. This list does not include every reference to Zoroastrianism within each work. Each novel or story is listed only once, with a brief explanation or sample quote. Most works include only one reference, which is given. If a work contains multiple references, this is noted in the listing. Zoroastrianism is mentioned rarely within science fiction, and when it is mentioned, it is usually only in passing. The Adherents.com sf/f index has only three works which have extensive references to Zoroastrians (titles in bold).

Click to open Encyclopaedia of the Orient on its front page Zoroastrianism Religion with its origin in ancient Iran , which exist even in modern times. Zoroastrianism is perhaps the world oldest continuing non-pantheistic religion. The founder of Zoroastrianism, Zarathustra , preached around 600 BCE a second monotheistic religious message that is recorded. Much of this is found in the central collection of religious texts, Avesta Inside the History of Religion the teachings of Zarathustra has been used in order to explain the development of the three major monotheistic religions, Judaism Christianity , and Islam , but there has never been proven any clear examples of influence between the belief systems. Zoroastrianism is also called Zarathustrism, Mazdaism and Parsism. Parsism is the term used today among the believers in India, the largest Zoroastrian society of today. Modern Zoroastrianism counts about 150,000 believers in India, 50,000 in Iran, and perhaps 50,000 in the rest of the world. CULT The cult of Zoroastrianism is focused on battling the evil, and the principal symbol in this battle is the sacred Fire. The most important place of worship is the temple of fire. Here a fire burns as a symbol of the holiness of Ahura Mazda.

39. TEMPLE OF ZOROASTER Iranian religious reformer and founder of zoroastrianism, or Parsiism, as it is known in India. Site offers information about His life, teachings, books, images and links. http://sangha.net/messengers/zoroaster.htm

TEMPLE OF ZOROASTER About Zoroaster Zoroaster's Teaching Zoroastrian Texts Books ... Images of Zoroaster Old Iranian ZARATHUSHTRA, or ZARATHUSTRA (b. c. 628 BC, probably Rhages, Irand. c. 551, site unknown), Iranian religious reformer and founder of Zoroastrianism, or Parsiism, as it is known in India. (See Zoroastrianism; Parsi.) Life. A major personality in the history of the religions of the world, Zoroaster has been the object of much attention for two reasons. On the one hand, he became a legendary figure believed to be connected with occult knowledge and magical practices in the Near Eastern and Mediterranean world in the Hellenistic Age (c. 300 BC-c. AD 300). On the other hand, his monotheistic concept of God has attracted the attention of modern historians of religion, who have speculated on the connections between his teaching and Judaism and Christianity. Though extreme claims of pan-Iranianism (i.e., that Zoroastrian or Iranian ideas influenced Greek, Roman, and Jewish thought) may be disregarded, the pervasive influence of Zoroaster's religious thought must nevertheless be recognized. The student of Zoroastrianism is confronted by several problems concerning the religion's founder. One question is what part of Zoroastrianism derives from Zoroaster's tribal religion and what part was new as a result of his visions and creative religious genius. Another question is the extent to which the later Zoroastrian religion (Mazdaism) of the Sasanian period (AD 224-651) genuinely reflected the teachings of Zoroaster. A third question is the extent to which the sourcesthe Avesta (the Zoroastrian scriptures) with the Gathas (older hymns), the Middle Persian Pahlavi Books, and reports of various Greek authorsoffer an authentic guide to Zoroaster's ideas.
