Shinto & Buddhism: Wellsprings Of Japanese Spirituality
Short article by Paul Watt examines these two traditions that form the basis of Japanese spirituality. shinto Buddhism Wellsprings of Japanese Spirituality
http://www.askasia.org/frclasrm/readings/r000009.htm

Extractions: Wellsprings of Japanese Spirituality Article written by Paul Watt for the Asia Society's Focus on Asian Studies, Vol. II, No. 1, Asian Religions AskAsia The Japanese religious tradition is rich and complex, encompassing within it both complementary and contradictory trends in religious thought and practice with an ease that may occasionally puzzle the Western observer. At the very heart of the tradition stand Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, and Buddhism, the Indian religion that reached Japan in the sixth through eighth centuries A.D. from Korea and China. Throughout the long course of Japanese history, it has been these two religions that have contributed most to the Japanese understanding of themselves and their world. Shinto Shinto was the earliest Japanese religion, its obscure beginnings dating back at least to the middle of the first millennium B.C. Until approximately the sixth century A.D., when the Japanese began a period of rapid adoption of continental civilization, it existed as an amorphous mix of nature worship, fertility cults, divination techniques, hero worship, and shamanism. Unlike Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam, it had no founder and it did not develop sacred scriptures, an explicit religious philosophy, or a specific moral code. Indeed, so unself-conscious were the early Japanese about their religious life that they had no single term by which they could refer to it. The word Shinto , or "the Way of the kami (gods or spirits)," came into use only after the sixth century, when the Japanese sought to distinguish their own tradition from the foreign religions of Buddhism and Confucianism that they were then encountering. Thus, in its origins, Shinto was the religion of a pristine people who, above all, were sensitive to the spiritual forces that pervaded the world of nature in which they lived. As one ancient chronicle reports: in their world myriad spirits shone like fireflies and every tree and bush could speak.

Extractions: SHINTO Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion. Starting about 500 BCE (or earlier) it was originally "an amorphous mix of nature worship, fertility cults, divination techniques, hero worship, and shamanism." Its name was derived from the Chinese words " shin tao " ( "The Way of the Gods" ) in the 8th Century CE. At that time: The Yamato dynasty consolidated its rule over most of Japan. Divine origins were ascribed to the imperial family. Shinto established itself as an official religion of Japan, along with Buddhism The complete separation of Japanese religion from politics did not occur until just after World War II. The Emperor was forced by the American army to renounce his divinity at that time. Unlike most other religions, Shinto has no real founder, no written scriptures, no body of religious law, and only a very loosely-organized priesthood. Shinto creation stories tell of the history and lives of the "Kami" (deities). Among them was a divine couple, Izanagi-no-mikoto and Izanami-no-mikoto, who gave birth to the Japanese islands. Their children became the deities of the various Japanese clans. Amaterasu Omikami (Sun Goddess) was one of their daughters. She is the ancestress of the Imperial Family and is regarded as the chief deity. Her shrine is at Ise. Her descendants unified the country. Her brother, Susano came down from heaven and roamed throughout the earth. He is famous for killing a great evil serpent.

Extractions: Cheap Airfare Shinto (the way of the gods) is the indigenous faith of the Japanese people, and it is as old as the Japanese people. Shinto does not have a founder nor does it have sacred scriptures like the sutras or the bible. Propaganda and preaching is not common either because Shinto is very deeply rooted in the Japanese people and its traditions. The kami are the objects of worship in Shinto. They are sacred spirits and can take various forms such as natural elements like the sun, mountains, trees, rocks, and the wind, or abstract things like fertility, but also ancestors, national heroes and protectors of family clans. A sacred tree with the sacred rope (shimenawa) around the tree trunk. In contrast to Western religions there are no absolutes in Shinto, even though there is a most important godess, the Sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami whose shrine is at Ise. Shinto is a very optimistic faith. It is thought that all humans are fundamentally good, and that all evil is caused by evil spirits. The purpose of most of the rituals is to avoid evil spirits by purification, offerings and prayers. A written code of ethics and morals does not really exist in Shinto; but the

Extractions: Hachiman Shrine, Kamakura Shinto Shrines are places of worship and the dwellings of the kami, the Shinto "gods". Sacred symbols that represent the kami are stored in the innermost chamber of the shrine where they cannot be seen by anybody. Besides the main building that usually includes the innermost chamber and an offering hall, there can be a variety of other buildings such as the priest's house and office, a storehouse for mikoshi , a stage and other auxiliary buildings. On the other hand, Shinto shrines almost never include a cemetery because death is basically thought to be evil. Most Japanese cemetaries are Buddhist A variety of typical objects can be found at and in shrines. Among them are symbolic offerings, mirrors, purification wands, laterns and straw ropes with zigzag papers (shimenawa) that are tied around sacred objects like trees.

Extractions: NEXT HOME Shinto is a general term for the activities of the Japanese people to worship all the deities of heaven and earth, and its origin is as old as the history of the Japanese. It was towards the end of the 6th century when the Japanese were conscious of these activities and called them 'Way of Kami(the deity or the deities )'. It coincides the time when the 31st Emperor Yomei prayed before an image of Buddha for the first time as an emperor for recovery of his illness. Thus accepting Buddhism, a foreign religion, the Japanese realized existence of a tradition of their own faith. After having gone through a long history since then, this indigenous faith, Shinto, has been developed into four main forms: the Koshitsu Shinto ( Shinto of the Imperial House), the Jinja Shinto (the Shrine Shinto), the Shuha Shinto (the Sect Shinto), and the Minzoku Shinto (the Folk Shinto). 1.The Koshitsu Shinto 2.The Shuha Shinto 3.The Folk Shinto 4.The Jinja Shinto (The Shrine Shinto) A.

Although Japan has experienced a rapid change of environment due to a gust of modernization, the Japanese feel the same presence of gods, in their modern lives, that they had felt in the ancient days. Shinto, written as the Way of the Gods, is a native religion of Japan that encompasses the poetic reality of senses, which is a part of basic Japanese principles of life. According to the Kojiki, the mythological chronology of Japan, the gods of the Shinto religion are believed to have created Japan as their image of paradise on earth, and the ruler of Japan, the Emperor, is a direct descendent of the Sun-goddess Amaterasu. Shinto combines with the civil rule of Japan as well as many other aspects of daily life. The emperor is respected and honored by every member of the nation. Throughout history, emperors have experienced many fluctuations in power. There are over a hundred enormous shrines dedicated to the past emperors.
