Manichaeism (; * in Modern Persian yin-e Mni; Chinese: ; pinyin: Móní Jiào) was a major religious movement that was founded by the Iranian prophet Mani (in Persian: , Syriac: /mni, Latin: Manichaeus or Manes from Koine Greek: ; Sanskrit: (Manik), c. 216276) in the Sasanian Empire.Manichaeism taught an elaborate dualistic cosmology describing the struggle between a good, spiritual world of light, and an evil, material world of darkness. Through an ongoing process that takes place in human history, light is gradually removed from the world of matter and returned to the world of light, whence it came. Its beliefs were based on local Mesopotamian religious movements and Gnosticism.Manichaeism was quickly successful and spread far through the Aramaic-speaking regions. It thrived between the third and seventh centuries, and at its height was one of the most widespread religions in the world. Manichaean churches and scriptures existed as far east as China and as far west as the Roman Empire |
