An Eyewitness Account Of When Spirituality Spread From East To West

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a wave of spirituality spread from East to West. This movement was sparked by a number of factors, including the increasing globalization of trade and travel, the rise of new religious movements, and the growing interest in Eastern philosophy and mysticism.

One of the most important figures in this movement was Swami Vivekananda, a Hindu monk who traveled to the United States in 1893 to attend the World's Parliament of Religions. Vivekananda's speeches at the Parliament were a revelation to many Westerners, and they helped to spark a new interest in Hinduism and other Eastern spiritual traditions.

Another important figure in the spread of Eastern spirituality to the West was D.T. Suzuki, a Japanese Zen Buddhist scholar who taught at Columbia University in the early 20th century. Suzuki's writings and teachings helped to introduce Zen Buddhism to the West, and they had a profound impact on the development of American Buddhism.

The spread of Eastern spirituality to the West has had a significant impact on Western culture. Eastern spiritual practices have been incorporated into a variety of Western traditions, including yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. Eastern philosophy has also influenced Western thought in areas such as psychology, psychotherapy, and art.
