| abstract | The yin-yang concept is a pivotal theory in traditional Chinese thought influencing many aspects of Chinese civilization, government, architecture, personal relationships and ethics. There are significant similarities between this ancient paradigm and the spirit and principles of the Bahá’í Faith, especially regarding the origin of matter, the nature of history, man-woman relationships and health and healing. Bearing in mind the UN Year 2001 for a Creative “Dialogue Among Civilizations”, this paper will set out to discuss how these similarities may be helpful in the modem encounter between Chinese culture and the Bahá'i Faith. |
