  Far East - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Far East is an inexact term often used for East Asia and Southeast Asia combined, sometimes including also the easternmost territories of Russia, i.e., the Russian Far East, and the western Pacific Ocean region.
Far East is sometimes used synonymously with East Asia, which may be defined in geographic or cultural terms to include historical China (excluding Tibet and Xinjiang), Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
Far East in this sense is comparable to terms such as the Orient, which means East; the Eastern world; or simply the East.

 Amazon.com: Life Without Stress : The Far Eastern Antidote to Tension and Anxiety: Books: Arthur Sokoloff   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Sokoloff, a practicing dentist and teacher of Far Eastern studies (Univ. of Miami), distills the basic concepts of several Far Eastern traditions in a way that will appeal to pragmatic North Americans.
The nonattachment of Buddhism, the spontaneity of Zen practice, the harmony and balance of Taoist thought, and the Confucian legacy of civility and respect are ideals the author singles out as beneficial to Westerners in the quest to find a healthy way to live in an increasingly stressful world.
Although he does so with noble intent, he inadvertently romanticizes the Far Eastern way of life by ignoring the more difficult cultural contradictions that make Eastern spirituality a challenging study.
