SHINTO Shinto is an indigenous religious beliefs and practices of Japan. The word Shinto, which literally means "the way of kami" (kami means "mystical," "superior," or "divine," generally sacred or divine power, specifically the various gods or deities), came into use in order to distinguish indigenous Japanese beliefs from Buddhism, which had been introduced into Japan in the 6th century AD. Shinto has no founder, no official sacred scriptures in the strict sense, and no fixed dogmas, but it has preserved its guiding beliefs throughout the ages. Nature and varieties Shinto consists of the traditional Japanese religious practices as well as the beliefs and life attitudes that are in accord with these practices. Shinto is more readily observed in the social life of the Japanese people and in their personal motivations than in a pattern of formal belief or philosophy. It remains closely connected with the Japanese value system and the Japanese people's ways of thinking and acting. Shinto can be roughly classified into the following three major types: Shrine Shinto, Sect Shinto, and Folk Shinto. Shrine Shinto (Jinja Shinto), which has been in existence from the beginning of Japanese history to the present day, constitutes a main current of Shinto tradition. Shrine Shinto includes within its structure the now defunct State Shinto (Kokka Shinto)based on the total identity of religion and stateand has close relations with the Japanese Imperial family. Sect Shinto (Kyoha Shinto) is a relatively new movement consisting of 13 major sects that originated in Japan around the 19th century and of several others that emerged after World War II.

122. President Bush And Mrs. Bush Worship At Shinto Shrine President Bush and Mrs. Bush worship at shinto Shrine. Answer According to the shinto ritual, clapping hands and bows are the set of shinto style of worship. http://www.cephasministry.com/nwo_bush_goes_to_shinto_worship.html

President Bush and Mrs. Bush worship at Shinto Shrine from the desk of Dr. Morey author of the Islamic Invasion cllick here to go to the book President Bush and his wife have now managed to alienate the Japanese and Korean Christian communities by going to a Shinto shrine and worshipping the demon spirit in the shrine. They both bowed to the demon and clapped their hands to awaken him. Then they signed the book of those who have worshipped the demon spirit who inhabits the Shrine - you can see the article from the Japan Times right here. Japanese Christian leaders (see email at bottom of the page) confirm that the Bushes engaged in pagan worship and not just a show of respect. The Japanese news services used the religious term sanpei to describe the worship performed by the Bushes at the temple. During WW II, Japanese and Korean Christians who refused to worship the demon-spirit at Shinto shrines were put to death. Now, their descendents see the Bushes making a mockery of those who, like Daniel and his three friends, refused to bow before a heathen idol. According to the Japan Times, the Prime minister of Japan remained in the car because he could not join the Bushes in worshipping at the shrine. This was due to a wall of separation between temple and state set forth in the Japanese Constitution. It forbids the heads of state from participating in Shinto worship because that was the religion that motivated the carnage of WW II and the attack on Pearl Harbor.

127. Historique - 01 Le Katori Shinto Ryu shinto Ryu. http://www.aikibudo.com/akbd/version_fr/01_historique/katori.htm

hoc du monde moderne et de la tradition la plus ancienne ; à peu de distance de l'endroit où se posent en rugissant les jets internationaux ralliant l'aéroport de Narita, près de Tokyo, se trouve une école traditionnelle japonaise de l'art du sabre, le Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu. Cette école a été fondée au milieu du XVème siècle et constitue aujourd'hui la plus ancienne des écoles traditionnelles de sabre au japon. Cet art est dû à un valeureux guerrier du nom de IIZASA IENAO. Né en 1387 à Iishino,près de la ville de katori, dans la province de CHIBA, en pleine période MUROMACHI (voir histoire du japon), il était au service du seigneur de la province, le clan Chiba. D'après les renseignements qui sont parvenus jusqu'à notre époque, il aurait aussi été durant une brève période de sa vie, maître d'armes du Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa. près la disgrâce de la famille Chiba, ayant compris que les guerres et les conflits ne pouvaient qu'entraîner la ruine de la noblesse, il se retira au temple de Katori, l'un des trois sanctuaires shintô les plus révérés au japon (les deux autres étant Kashima et Ise) sous le nom de Chosai Ienao. Le temple de Katori était consacré à Futsunushi no kami, une divinité tutélaire du monde martial, particulièrement importante pour tous les guerriers. Là, il menait de pair sa vie monastique et un entraînement rigoureux accompagné d'un enseignement à ses disciples. D'après la légende, un disciple eut l'idée saugrenue de laver le cheval de Chosai avec l'eau de la fontaine sacrée, réservée à la purification des fidèles. Que croyez-vous qu'il arriva ? le cheval en creva. Comprenant la puissance de la divinité Shintô du temple, le maître Chosai Ienao se retira sur le mont Umeki, non loin du temple durant 1000 jours, pour prier, jeûner et s'entraîner.
