"Oriente Lux Occidente Lex " ( Out of the East Light, out of the West Laws ) - thus proclaimed the Latin scholars. The Orient became synonymous with Light and Wisdom. The Occident with laws & conquest of the outer world. The West still dominates the fields of Science, Technology & Economics. The East was far more bothered aboutconquering the inner world: for the greatest conquest is the conquest of the Mind ! " The noblest conquest is the conquest of oneself " said Buddha. This inner conquest means to sublimate our ego, conquer our negative aspect and then redeem the world ! This is far more difficult than conquering the outer world !
