Spiritual teachers

I consider Laozi (credited with writing the Daodejing), Zhuangzi (author of a book by the same name that teaches following the Dao), Mooji (a teacher of Advaita Vedanta who teaches love, peace, humility and realizing Oneness), Thich Nhat Hanh (a Zen Buddhist monk who is known for his teachings on both inner and outer peace), The Dalai Lama, Gautama Buddha, Jesus of Nazereth, Alan Watts, Aldous Huxley, Socrates and Confucius to be some of my main spiritual teachers.

I just wanted to know what spiritual teachers you like in regard to your religion or another religion. If you could give me the name, what they taught in general, and the religion, it would be great!!!
I like all teachers of old in Hinduism known as Acharyas. Sankara, Ramanuja, Nimbark, Madhva and Chaitanya. They were Vedantists. You can find the basics of their teaching at Vedanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sankara holds a special place for me and I am an 'advaitist'. Among the teachers from other religions, Buddha takes the first place. I also respect the propounder of Jainism, Mahavira, for his message of non-violence and earnestness to his beliefs.

I will definitely make a point of reading into these teachers. I am very interested in learning more about early Hinduism. :D

You are welcome. I am not familiar with Dao, Zen, Tibetan Buddhism etc. I respect them. But then, Hinduism + Buddhism give me all answers. :)
I have this bad habit of editing my posts. :)
 
I wouldn't call them "teachers" but these two authors had (and still have) a strong influence on me regarding what can be called Primordial Tradition/Sophia Perennis: Julius Evola and René Guénon.
