Write a letter in the persona of an eastern philosopher to one of his pupils. I have chosen Confucius as my eastern philosopher. In the letter I have to describe his viewpoints concerning one of his philosophies. I am not quite sure as to were or how to start this letter. Any assistance in a possible outline and reference points would be appreciated.
While I have picked Confucius, if you are more familiar with another eastern philosopher and can help me with that, feel free to offer another choice and provide information on that.
This solution contains a lengthy (over 850 words) example of a hypothetical letter written by a first century B.C.E. Eastern philosopher (and rabbi) to one of his students. It illustrates the intent of this assignment very well.
