Neo-Oriental Movement - Neo-Oriental Movement (English name)
A general term for the interest in and practices based on religions and philosophies of Eastern origin, such as Zen, yoga, tantrism based on Hare Krishna, Taoism, and the I Ching, which spread mainly in the United States from the 1960s. The term "neo" refers to the popularity of Eastern thought in the 19th century, which influenced such figures as R.W. Emerson and H.D. Thoreau. In the 19th century, only a small number of intellectuals showed interest, but the Eastern religions that spread in the 1960s were practiced by millions of people.

Japanese:
1960年代からアメリカを中心に広まった禅,ヨーガ,ハレ・クリシュナなどによるタントリズム,道教,易経など東洋起源の宗教や思想に対する関心と,これらに基づく実践の総称。〈ネオneo(新しい)〉と称されるのは,19世紀にR.W.エマソンやH.D.ソローらに影響を与えた東洋思想の流行があったからである。19世紀の場合は少数の知識人が関心を示したにすぎなかったが,1960年代に広まった東洋の諸宗教は何百万という人々によって実践された。
