Hey guys, I'm looking for some good books on eastern philosophy and religion, can anyone help me out? Preferably books that pertain to Sikhism, Jainism, Taoism, and Buddhism, or focus on chakras, meditation or astral projection. I need to brush up on my knowledge and I haven't owned a book based on eastern philosophy since high school lol. But yeah, any reccomendations would be very much appreciated!

No one?

"Nanavira Thera - Clearing the path" is a good book on Buddhism. Read introduction and the letters first.

I know you’re looking for nonfiction, but let me quickly recommend Laszo Krasznahorkai’s works, because they are extremely good, and about eastern philosophy.
"Seiobo There Below" is probably the pinnacle, but if you want something shorter "From the North by Hill, From the South by Lake, From the West by Roads, From the East by River" is also very good.
As is "The Prisoner of Urga", which is probably the roughest one. Someone with knowledge on meditation etc. told me that she felt it accurately captured the painfulness of (trying) it.
