. Initially W
. preached his doctrine at home (according to various sources - in eastern Iran, Central Asia, Volga). The main source of biographical information about W. is the 13th book "Avesta". According to legend, during pregnancy the mother W. saw prophetic dreams about the extraordinary fate of the future son. NW Newborn. not crying, like all children, and laughed. Magee wanted to destroy him and threw him into the fire, but he miraculously escaped. In seven years W. demonstrated outstanding ability in the 15 years of his wisdom and piety were much. At home W. no success and the age of 30 years, fled to Bactria. There, in defiance of magicians, W. turned to their faith king Drangiana Vishtaspa, miraculously healed of his favorite horse. At the age of 77 W. killed by the hands of his old enemy - The Magician's Tour-and-Bratarvahshi. Z. had three wives, left four daughters and six sons. Over time, W. had feared as a demigod.
Main sermons W. was the doctrine of the dependence of the world order and justice (see. Asha Vahishta) in the global struggle between good and evil from the free choice of the man from his active participation in this fight on the side of good. Thus, the soul is faced with a choice between good and evil, between truth and falsehood. If she chooses Welcome, you will be rewarded in the last day of Ahura Mazda, but if she chooses evil, it will in the end times condemned by fire. Zoroastrian morality - the ethical triad of good thoughts, good words and good deeds.

Through the medium of the Greek image of W. - Zoroaster was leaked to the European culture.
