The Tao of Pooh. I get my Eastern philosophy the way most Westerners do, which is third- or fourth-hand. The Tao of Pooh is a great way to gather third-hand Eastern philosophy.
"In any event, there's a description of a painting called The Vinegar Taster. Buddha and Lao-Tzu and Confucius are all sitting around with ladles and a big vat of vinegar. Buddha and Confucius are both going 'ick,' and Lao-Tzu is smiling, because life is sweet. And the other two just don't know it yet."
