Zoroastrian texts

Zoroastrian texts, primarily the Avesta, are ancient scriptures from Persia that outline their religious beliefs. They emphasize the duality of good and evil, with Ahura Mazda as the supreme god representing truth and righteousness, and Angra Mainyu embodying chaos and falsehood. The texts include prayers, hymns, and moral instructions, guiding followers to choose good through good thoughts, words, and deeds. These writings influence concepts of moral responsibility, purity, and the eventual triumph of good over evil, shaping Zoroastrian worship and ethical framework for thousands of years.
