I-Kuan Tao (Pronounced Yee Guan Dao) I havent really looked up on too much upon other religions except Taoism and Buddhism which is common since the two are linked in certain ways but yes different in others. My primary focus is of I-Kuan Tao which regards Heaven and Hell as unnecessary and of individual states of mind. Basically if an all knowing, All merciful God created us as his children, why would he subject his children to such heinous infinite torture as hell would manifest? I-Kuan Tao also preaches Vegetarianism/Veganism as everything is and will always be comprised of tao, all life whether human or creature, so the death of a creature much like the death of a human is an unnecessary infringment on the forward motion of Tao which is bad for ones sefl and ones soul. It upholds a complete, positive, and extreme reverence for ALL life. This belief also encompasses Xin Zhai which is the essence of having a kind heart, being selfless, and using positive and good judgement. Finally, I-Kuan Tao is the abolishment of ego and the negativity that surrounds it and material possesions in accordance with the greed and negativity that follow it. So i plan on studying it a whole lot more but im glad I found it
