Best introductory texts to non-Western philosophical traditions or figures?

Continuing with our new series about the best introductory texts in various areas of philosophy, I now invite readers to name what they think are the best introductory texts to non-Western philosophical traditions or figures (e.g., Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Islamic traditions; or figures like Mencius or Al-Fārābī).  As before, don't just name a text, but say something about why you think it's particularly notable or valuable.  Although you don't have to sign  your comment, I do think signed ones will carry more weight with readers.
