Summary: Bodhidaoism, until now, has had seven streams of inspiration. From the Western side it has has Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Humanism. And from the Eastern side it has had Jainism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. Today I add an eighth wisdom tradition, namely Existentialism. Jean-Paul Sartre defines existentialism as “a doctrine which makes human life possible and, in addition, declares that every truth and every action implies a human setting and a human subjectivity.”<br> References<br> Jean-Paul Sartre. (1985). Existentialism and the Human Emotion. New York: Kensington Publishing Corp.<br> <br> UPDATE<br> Existentialism is no longer the 8th Stream, but is now incorporated into psychology.
