Home›Zoroastrian Scriptures›TraditionBrowse ByTraditionThis page groups scripture texts by the tradition that treats them as central. Wikipedia notes that in some non-theistic religions "such as some Indian religions they are considered to be the central tenets of their eternal Dharma," a different basis for sacredness than divine revelation. Browsing by tradition lets a visitor read every text central to one religion together.FactsTraditionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1TraditionFilter Results2 entriesAdherents Today MaximumAll57,264 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll57,264 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllNational Census (1)Defining Doctrinal PositionAllAhura Mazda opposed by a destructive principle, made real through good thought, word and deed (2)FounderAllNo founder.
