SHINTOISM CONTENTS PAGE WORLD RELIGIONS PAGE Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, has been influenced by Buddhism, Confucianism, and more recently, Christianity. It is a combination of many things, and within it are wide differences of thought and practice. Because of this, an isolated portrait of Shintoism is somewhat misleading. Shintoism is an undeveloped primitive religion which centers on the worship of nature deities and deified people. It has no founder, no prophet, no savior, and little formal doctrine. Its main emphasis is the worship of the Kami, a concept which involves the gods, all aspects of nature, supernatural power, and certain people. Kami is everywhere and the world is Kami. It is the divine consciousness which flows through all. It is the vital force of the universe. This concept is pantheistic because there is no real distinction between the creator and the created. The origins of the ancient Shinto religion are obscure. Two Chinese words, shen (spirit) and tao (way), were combined to produce the word Shinto. The equivalent in Japanese is kaml no michi, which essentially means "the way of the gods." Only after Buddhism began to threaten Shintoism did the Japanese try to preserve their religion by recording the old myths and oral traditions. Buddhism entered Japan in A.D. 522 by way of China and Korea. About two centuries later the two books of Shinto scriptures were produced as a response. The Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) appeared in A.D. 712, and the Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan) appeared in A.D. 720.

Shinto From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Shintoism Shintô Japanese religion of Japan . It involves the worship of kami , which is alternately translated as gods, nature spirits, or just spiritual presences. Some kami are very local and can be regarded as the spirit or genius of a particular place, but others represent major natural objects and processes, for example, Amaterasu , the Sun goddess . Shinto is a combination of two Chinese shen tao ) for "gods" and "road." Thus, Shinto means literally, "the way of the kami." Table of contents 1 Definition of Shinto 2 Practice and Teaching of Shinto 3 Cultural Effect of Shinto 4 Important Shrines ... edit Definition of Shinto Shinto is a difficult religion to classify. On the one hand, it can be seen as merely a highly sophisticated form of animism and may be regarded as a primal religion . On the other hand, Shinto beliefs and ways of thinking are deeply embedded in the subconscious fabric of modern Japanese society. The afterlife is not a primary concern in Shinto, and much more emphasis is placed on fitting into this world, instead of preparing for the next. Shinto has no binding set of dogma, no holiest place for worshippers, no person or kami deemed holiest, and no defined set of prayers. Instead, Shinto is a collection of rituals and methods meant to mediate the relations of living humans to kami. These practices have originated organically in Japan over a span of many centuries and have been influenced by Japan's contact with the religions of other nations, especially China. (Notice that the word Shinto is itself of Chinese origin.) Conversely, Shinto had and continues to have an impact of the practice of other religions within Japan. In particular, one could even make a case for discussing it under the heading of

Zoroastrianism Shintoism In 1868 Shinto was divided into State Shinto, obligatory for all Japanese, and Shrine Shinto, which included an enormous number of popular cults. After World War II, State Shinto was disestablished and replaced by Jinja Shinto, or Shrine Shinto, which now represents the majority of Shinto shrines. What does Shintoism teach about ecology? Shinto tradition acknowledges a deep debt to the blessing of nature and the spiritual power which brings about life, fertility, and prosperity. This life-giving power was called Musubi (divine power of growth), and perceived in all the workings of nature. Mountains peaks, deep valleys, and the wide ocean were viewed as dwellings for the divine, and other natural objects such as evergreen trees and huge rocks were considered to be symbols of divine spirits. Along city avenues and in the valleys formed by busy urban streets, wherever the Japanese people make their lives, one will always find a luxuriant green of trees. The grove is a ritual space for the worship of the deities, and as such is a part of nature which has been preserved by the Japanese people since ancient times. And it is within such groves that one finds the kami deities are enshrined.

Ancient Shinto focused on the worship of the kami , a host of supernatural beings that could be known through forms (objects of nature, remarkable people, abstract concepts such as justice) but were ultimately mysterious. Shinto has no formal dogma and no holy writ, though early collections of Japanese religious thought and practice ( Kojiki A.D. 712, and Nihon shoki A.D. 720) are highly regarded. Shinto has been influenced by Confucianism and by Buddhism, which was introduced in Japan in the 6th century. Syncretic schools (such as Ryobu Shinto) emerged, as did other sects that rejected Buddhism (such as Ise Shinto). B.C.

Home About Us Our Priorities Leadership ... Contact Us Shinto Traditions Edited from Japan-Guide Web Site (Kinboshi Media) Session Co-ordinator: Yoshinobu Miyake Shinto (the way of the gods) is the indigenous faith of 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 also not common because Shinto is very deeply rooted in the Japanese people and its traditions. The kami are the objects of worship in Shinto. They consist of 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, they can also include ancestors, national heroes, and protectors of family clans. In contrast to Western religions, there are no absolutes in Shinto. However, there is a most important goddess, 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. While a written code of ethics and morals does not really exist in the Shinto belief; Confucian ethics have melted together with Shinto traditions over the centuries, especially during the Edo period.
