壹What This Library Is
The Hall of Ten Thousand Paths is a library of the world's religions, built by the UK Master Academy Institute for Metaphysical Training and Research and opened freely to everyone. Each tradition has a main page covering how it began, what it teaches, whom it venerates, its scriptures, its schools, and how many follow it today. Every scripture and every mantra of consequence gets a page of its own, setting out the original text, its reading, a translation, and a line-by-line commentary.
Everything here is free. No fee, no paywall, no coins. This library exists to pass knowledge on, not to sell anything.
The library does not say which path is right and which is wrong. It invites no one to join a religion and no one to leave one.
A box marked as the tradition teaches it carries what a religion says about itself. A box marked as the historical record has it carries what historical scholarship can establish. The two are never blended.
Each follower count is given with its source and its year. Where a figure cannot honestly be counted, the page says so plainly.
Original Chinese texts and their Sino-Vietnamese readings are in the public domain. The translations here were made directly from the originals by UK MASTER ACADEMY; no translation still under copyright has been copied.
Colours are drawn from the actual vestments, implements and emblems of each tradition, and every pair is machine-tested for contrast, so a reader knows from the colour alone which path they are reading.
All diagrams are generated in code. No collected photographs are used, and no sacred figure is ever portrayed.
貳The Paths In This Library
The library opens in stages. A tile in full colour can be clicked and is already written; a faded tile is still being drafted. The order is deliberate: Taoism first, because it is the root of the whole feng shui and divination tradition, then Buddhism, then the rest.

問Quick Questions
What is the Hall of Ten Thousand Paths
It is a library of the world's religions, built by UK MASTER ACADEMY and open to everyone. Each tradition has a main page covering its history, teachings, deities, scriptures, schools and follower numbers; every scripture and mantra of consequence has a page of its own.
Does the library charge anything
No. Everything is open. There is no fee, no paywall, no coin system and no sign-in.
Does the library favour one religion
No. It describes rather than judges. It does not say which path is right, invites no one to join a religion and no one to leave one. Teachings and historical record are kept in separate boxes so the reader always knows which they are reading.
Why does each religion have a different colour
Colours come from the actual vestments, implements and emblems of each tradition, and every pair is machine-tested for contrast before use, so the colour alone tells a reader which path they are in.
