101. SHINTOISMUS (Basislexikon: Kompetent-kritisch-konstruktiv)
Hintergr¼nde und Praxis des shintoismus.
http://217.175.235.200/basisreligion/shinto.htm
TITELTEXT SHINTOISMUS (oder auch SCHINTOISMUS) - am besten ist es, wenn Sie sich erst einmal woanders informieren und dann die "Ergänzungen" aus der Sicht von basisreligion lesen. Wenn HIER oder in das Buch "Religionen - Wesen und Geschichte" von Hans-Joachim Schoeps, Gütersloh , ohne Jahr, was da über Shintoismus steht, halte ich für sehr informativ, Sie können die entsprechenden Passagen erhalten, wenn Sie sie bei mir anfordern unter KONTAKT Im Wikipedia-Wörterbuch steht zwar nicht viel, doch wenigstens ein Überblick über die Religionen in Japan KOMMENTAR UND ERGÄNZUNGEN aus der Sicht von basisreligion : AUDI ET ALTERA PARS (zu deutsch: Höre auch die andere Seite!) Was in den Büchern über eine Religion steht, ist üblicherweise immer schön und gut und klingt wunderbar nach den Spielregeln der Political Correctness . Doch das ist selten die ganze Wirklichkeit, wirklichen Aufschluß, was mit einer Religion los ist, gibt eigentlich erst der Volksglauben . Obwohl sich inzwischen nur knapp ein Fünftel der Bevölkerung in Japan zum Shintoismus bekennt, scheint der Hintergrund des Shintoismus, nämlich ein "gezähmter" Glauben an Naturgottheiten und -geister, immer noch weitgehend der Hintergrund der Glaubensvorstellungen aller Japaner zu sein. Wir haben hier eine typische Vielgötterei vor uns, die in etwa unseren vorchristlichen Religionen, also denen der alten Babylonier, Ägypter, Griechen, Römer, Germanen, entspricht. Ist es nicht eine phantastische Sache, daß also unsere alten Religionen vermutlich in Japan noch lebendig sind? Was es alles für Parallelen gibt, merken wir erst, wenn wir einmal selbst durch Japan fahren und uns auf japanische Frömmigkeit einlassen oder uns sonst wie mit dem Alltag der Japaner beschäftigen und vor allem "genau hinschauen". Ziehen Sie Ihre Schlüsse selbst!

Mars/Rei quotes

Origin: 500 BCE or earlier, and was a mix of nature worship, fertility cults, divination techniques, hero worship, and shamanism. Name origin: Comes from the Chinese "shin tao" translated as "The Way of the Gods" in the 8th century CE. So it didn't officially get a name until hundreds of years later. Beliefs: Shinto shares many beliefs with Buddhism. Both religions are optimistic about human nature and the world. The Buddha was viewed as one of many kamis, or nature deities, within Shinto. Religious texts discuss a "High Plain of Heaven" and a "Dark Land" which is an unclean land of the dead. This indicates that like many religions, Shinto has concepts of heaven and hell. Creation: A divine couple gave birth to the Japanese islands. Their children were the deities of various Japanese clans. Amaterasu, the sun goddess, was their daughter and the ancestress of the Imperial royal family.

Introduction Shinto (Japanese, “the way of the gods”), Japanese cult and religion, originating in prehistoric times, and occupying an important national position for long periods in the history of Japan, particularly 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 swords and armor and, especially, cloth; and ablutionary purification from crime and defilement. II. Early History In the late 6th century ad III. Contemporary Shinto Sectarian Shinto, a religion of the same status as Buddhism and Christianity, was unaffected by these changes. At the present time it comprises 13 major and numerous minor sects. The principal sects are divided into 5 main groups: those that continue with little modification the traditions of ancient Shinto; those that emphasize adherence to Confucian ethics; those that are predominantly devoted to faith healing; those that practice the worship of mountains; and those that are primarily devoted to purification rites. In the mid-1990s 110 million Japanese participated in the various Shinto sects, but those who professed Shinto as their sole or major religion numbered only 3.4 million. The Shinto sects have approximately 90,000 priests and about 81,000 shrines.

The Kami of Shinto
In Shinto their are eight million kami, however the number eight was also used to denote many, so lets just say their are lots of them. Every rock, animal, spring, emotion, quality and even person has a kami associated with it. The spirits of the dead are even kami. At some point it would be useful to define exactly what is a kami. There are number of possible answers to this, from the western perspective the easiest answer would be just to call them gods (in the Greek and Roman panthiestic tradition), but I think this mis-reperesents things. When your father dies his spirit becomes a kami. They quite literally permeate every aspect of Shinto culture. These pages originally are derived from notes I took while investigating the subject. They are by no means perfect but I do my best to keep it accurate. The accuracy of mythology is very difficult to asertain because of conflicting version of stories. If you know nothing about the kami I suggest you start with Amaterasu and Susano . Then move on to Izanagi and Izanami Random Notes Kojiki - Records of Ancient Matters. Written in A.D. 712. One of two books setting forth the mythological past of Shinto. Was written in Chinese characters, but contains peculiarities of Japanese syntax missing from the Kojiki. The book was written from the spoken word of Hyeda no Are (who is believed to be woman). Appeared in the reign of Empress Gensho (715-723), but was commissioned by Empress Gemmio (708-715). The book was written by the court to legitimize the celestial origins of the court and Japan. It contains myths, legends, anecdotes and folk etymologies centered around the imperial and other leading families. It contains three books arranged in chronological fashion. Book one is the "Age of the Gods", Book two is about the first 15 emperors

Shinto succumbed to pneumonia in a Tokyo hospital at the age of 92. He became chairman of NTT in 1988. But a corruption scandal forced Shinto to resign within a year. Shinto was arrested in March 1989 on bribery charges, over receiving 10,000 shares of Recruit Cosmos Co. in return for favors. Shinto was convicted and sentenced to a two-year prison term, suspended for three years. He became an adviser to the NTT group in 1997 but resigned in March 2001.

HOME TIME AND SPACE PREHISTORY MESOPOTAMIA ... Homogeneity Shinto Earthquakes, volcanoes, and typhoons make Japan a land of many violent forces. The ancient Japane se developed a great respect for nature. Their beliefs are called "Shinto," or the "way of the gods." The ancient Japanese believed the gods created Japan as a special group of islands. They sent many kami, or lesser gods, to govern the land. Kami were supernatural forces with power over the mountains, the forests, the winds, and the sea. Shinto teaches that the world is filled with spirits that reside in nature. Amaterasu was the goddess of the sun, and her brother, Susano-o, was the storm god. The two quarreled often. Amaterasu sent her grandson, Ninigo, to rule over the Japanese islands. Ninigi was assisted by the kami, whose children became the Japanese people. The Japanese people believed they were the children of supernatural forces, and their emperor descended by Amaterasu. These beliefs helped to bond the Japanese as a culture that kept outsiders away. They were also a factor in Japan's entry into World War II. Religion is no longer the focus of daily life for most Japanese people. When Japan lost World War II, the American army forced the Japanese emperor to declare that he was not a god. Many Shinto shines remain, but they are not visited as often as they were before the war. Only 3% of the Japanese people are Christians, but the biggest holiday in Japan is now Christmas, a celebration that has no relationship with Japanese tradition.

Shintoism, Shinto
General Information Shintoism was the primitive religion of Japan before the coming of Buddhism, which is currently the main religion of Japan. Shintoism is a very simple religion. It gives only one command, the necessity of being loyal to one's ancestors. Its early aspects were naturalistic, which included spiritism, totemism, nature worship, and a crude sort of monotheism. Early Japanese worshipped the sun, thunder, earth, volcanoes, tigers, serpents, trees, shrubs, vines, etc. and even stones. A later stage is more intellectual and ethically oriented. The only deity actually recognized in higher Shintoism is the spiritualized human mind. For the masses, Shintoism has about 800,000 gods, mostly the deified heroes of the Japanese. The chief god is Amaterasu, the Sun God, from whom the Imperial Family of Japan traces its roots. BELIEVE

General Information A linguistic definition of Shinto is somewhat anathema to Shinto. But anyway, Shinto is awash with idols. There is (almost) no god that you cannot point to. Shinto approves of the representation of God in the material. Having said that, in Shinto thought too there is an insistence that God is spiritual: the kami is the power in the mountain, the tree, the sun and not these objects themselves. But Shinto is extremely "idol tolerant". Conversely, Shinto is I believe, very logo-clastic, it believes that God can not and

Japan's Religion and Philosophy
Overview Japan's religious history has been a long process of mutual influence between religions. Shinto has been a big part of Japanese life ever since the beginning of Japan's history and continues today. When Buddhism was introduced into Japan in the sixth century, it started to have an effect on the Shinto beliefs, and vise versa. An interesting example of this interaction is honji suijaku, in which shinto kami were seen as the incarnations of Buddhist deities. Two other religions that were brought into Japan are Confucianism and Taosim. For more than 1,000 years, these religions have had significant impact on Japan's society. The rules of Confucianism have had major impact on the ethical and political philosophy by it's influence during the sixth to ninth centuries and later from 1600 to 1868. The use of the Chinese calendar, fortune-tellers, among other things is a result of Taoism in Japan. It is much harder to trace than Confucianism, it's influences are still seen today.

Shukyo no shinja no kazu (The number of people who believe in religion)
Religion in Japan can roughly be divided into Shinto and Buddhism . However, in contemporary Japan, both Shinto and Buddhism are becoming more like a deeply rooted "custom" practiced in daily life rather than object of faith, as observed in the general practice of "a wedding with Shinto rites and a funeral with Buddhist rites."
Shinto
Shinto, literally meaning the way of the gods, is the Japanese religion from the ancient times, centering on the ideas of Japanese intimacy with nature and ancestor worship. All things on earth were brought forth and ruled over by the gods who reside throughout all nature. Mountains and trees often become objects of worship, and Shrine archways and sacred Shinto rope mark sacred areas. Ordinarily, shrines are built there, and objects of worship in which a god or gods reside are enshrined. Shinto constitutes the foundation of the sensibility of the Japanese people, but most present-day Japanese, rather than placing faith in Shinto, feel their cultural identity through it. Shinto meanwhile supported the Emperor system in a religious sense, and even now its ancient customary practices remain as the religion of the Imperial Family.
