Relatively few Parsis can even read the three extant volumes containing Zoroaster's teachings, which are written in an ancient Persian dialect. Although proud of their history, many Parsis increasingly regard the religion they profess as an expression of a unique cultural heritage rather than as a faith to be lived...
