Step into the rich and profound world of Eastern literature, where wisdom meets beauty and stories illuminate the path to meaning. In this episode of The Pilgrim’s Interests, Blake Hart explores the literary brilliance and cultural impact of three cornerstones of Eastern thought: the Bhagavad Gita, the Confucian and Taoist classics, and The Tale of Genji.
Discover how the Bhagavad Gita offers a poetic exploration of duty and morality, how Confucian and Taoist teachings shaped the foundation of Chinese society, and how The Tale of Genji redefined storytelling with its intimate portrayal of love, loss, and impermanence. Join us for an inspiring journey through these timeless works, uncovering their universal themes of balance, impermanence, and the search for wisdom—and why they remain deeply relevant today.
