My Reflection




Theme: How we express ourself.
Title: I believe, you believe.
Central idea: The belief asnd cultures are conveyed throught ritual, the arts and the way people live their lives.


Reflection: In the 'our belief' I thought I was a thinker because I needed to remember my beliefs in the past. When I was little I believe that my dog can protect me and my toy can play with me.
In the Beatrix Potter I thought I was a thinker because I need to make an introductory paragraph and post t to my blog. We must watch the movie about her and post it.

We went to a field trip to Cathedral and Istikal. Bothe places were very big. We really enjoy it.I think I was inquirers because I asked many question.
In the expo I thought I was a risk-taker because I try something new and learned about other religion. Our stand is always full.
In the Haiku ''Gods love'' I was a thinker because I really think to make this haiku.
At the religion project I did many things in my blog with many-many words. I think I am thinker because I think very hard.

Where is shinto?


Shinto




This is the symbol of shinto. it is called tori . Tori mean the shrine of God.


Shinto, in Japanese means the way of the gods, Japanese cult and religion, was originating in prehistoric times, and dwell in an important national position for long periods in the history of Japan, even in recent times. During its early period, the body of religious belief and practice called Shinto was without a name and had no fixed dogma, moral precepts, or sacred writings. Worship centered on a vast pantheon of spirits, or kami, mainly divinities personifying aspects of the natural world, such as the sky, the earth, heavenly bodies, and storms. Rites included prayers of thanksgiving; offerings of valuables, such as weapons and armor and, especially, cloth; and purification from crime and ruining.



In the late 6th century ad the name Shinto was created for the native religion to differentiate it from Buddhism and Confucianism, which had been introduced from China. Shinto was rapidly overshadowed by Buddhism, and the native gods were generally regarded as manifestations of Buddha in a previous state of existence.
Buddhist priests became the guardians of Shinto shrines and introduced their own ornaments, images, and ritual. At the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 9th centuries, the celebrated Japanese teacher KÅ«kai, or (posthumously) Kobo Daishi, established a doctrine uniting Buddhism and Shinto under the name of Ryobu Shinto (Japanese, “the Shinto of two kinds”).




In the new religion, Buddhism dominated Shinto, and elements were adopted from Confucianism. The ancient practice of Shinto proper close to disappeared and was maintained only at a few great shrines and in the imperial palace, although the emperors themselves had become Buddhists. The typically Shinto priests became fortune-tellers and magicians.
Beginning in the 18th century, Shinto was recharged as an important national religion through the writings and teachings of a succession of notable scholars, including Mabuchi, Motoori Norinaga, and Hirata Atsutane. Motivated by nationalistic sentiments that took the form of reverence for Japanese antiquity and hatred for ideas and practices of foreign origin, these men prepared the way for the disestablishment of Buddhism and the adoption of Shinto as the state religion. In 1867 the shogunate was defeated, and the emperor was restored to the head of the government. According to revived Shinto doctrine, the sovereignty of the emperor was exercised by divine right through his reputed descent from the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami, who is considered the founder of the Japanese nation.




Related beliefs included the doctrines that the Japanese were superior to other peoples because of their descent from the gods, and that the emperor was destined to rule over the entire world. Until the defeat of Japan in World War II, these beliefs were of the extreme importance in assuring popular support for the military expansion of the Japanese Empire.
