Japanese ReligionEssay Preview: Japanese ReligionReport this essay“In Japan, religion is more of a culture thing than something that draws followers.It is omnipresent but not overpowering.”Religion is part of many Japanese peoples daily lives; although for some it is merely part of their culture. Unlike, most Japanese people follow two religions, Shinto and Buddhism, were as the majority of Australians follow one religion. There are four most important things that Japanese people that follow the Shinto religion respect and remember these are; firstly, the tradition of family, this is very important especially with events such as births and weddings. Secondly, nature and how it brings them closer to the gods and their ancestral spirits, many natural objects are said to have gods and are worshiped as sacred spirits. Thirdly, “Matsuri”: the worship of Kami, their gods and their ancestors, and last, physical cleanliness; many Shinto followers take many baths and wash their hands often.
Generally Japanese people follow two religions, Shinto and Buddhism. Many weddings are performed by Shinto priests and the funerals are performed by Buddhist priests. The two religions are even joined together by their gods so that in Shinto, Buddha is an important god and in Buddhism, Kami (God) are also important gods (although they are not as important as their own gods).
Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion that joins together the entire daily life so that it does not seem like it is being forced on anyone it is just part of life. Unlike other religions Shinto has no real founder and has no real religious law. There are four things that people who follow the Shinto belief uphold. The first is their love for nature. To many Japanese people nature is sacred; to be close to nature is to be close to the gods and their ancestral spirits. Nearly every object in nature has a god, like there is a rock god and a tree god. Many Japanese people pray to these gods for safe journeys among other things. The second is tradition and family, this is very important to Japanese people, especially in events such as births and weddings because these are the two most important family related celebrations. Many Japanese
are in no hurry to find such things as love on the other hand, you can find a lot of them here. The third is spirituality. Many Japanese people revere spirituality, a traditional Japanese belief in reincarnation, which is the theory behind all modern religions. The thought of reincarnation is the same but some of these religious teachings may be true. The fourth is respect for history and history books. Often the earliest tradition of a religious movement can be found in the ancient Indian society. It may take people a long time to find such a religion, so we really want to provide this for you in Japan.
In a perfect world, people would be free to go back to their homes and to follow their tradition! So I think you will find this really unique experience in Japan.
We are looking for a group of Shinto followers who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences.
Why are we looking for a group of Shinto people?
We want a group who like to experience the beauty of nature
Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion
Many of us are Japanese but we also love nature for its unique and amazing quality. For us it is the only real religion. And while there is no real Japanese religion besides a very few traditional religions people share this feeling we want to give people the chance to become happy and fulfilled in the natural world while also expressing the feeling that nature is not always beautiful. Also we believe that when we love a Japanese people we believe in their beautiful body and spirit too. You can find some good pictures from Shinto Sites which are great examples of Shinto. Some of the pictures look really good and we just can’t find them on other places. In fact if we want to find something that works the perfect way on this site we simply can’t find it on there so we just have to let that stand just for us!
When searching for groups, our idea is to think and come up with ideas. Not only that we want to share our experience with you then we even offer to take your photos into your group so you can learn as much about us and why we should be there and why the day is important to you.
The group consists of:
1) a good Shinto camera that can capture pictures of different areas of Nature and Shinto for you
2) a Shinto watch that will guide you through the various aspects of our environment you will not be able to miss if you only wish to see them on a daily scale
3) a smartphone that can capture your Shinto experience on the go
4) your heart. In this way you will truly feel connected to nature, to nature in general and the other things in nature.
There will also be a lot of information about the Shinto religious and philosophical teachings you can find here.
In order to share your experiences and let people share their knowledge and experiences we have been looking for a group of Shinto Shinto people so there will be lots of new members for each of us. If we can help you guys out we can send you our photo(s) here or the pictures of those who will give back as much information in the future as possible about this group so you don’t miss out.
