Eastern philosophy is a whole different kettle of fish to Western philosophy. In the West, we tend to think of philosophy solely in terms of knowledge gained from books or other writings, but in the East, everything from the correct way of drinking tea, to the appreciation of the shape and form of rocks is part of the school of thought.
