Religious Traditions from around the world.

This essay was written for the Cultural Activity part of my Japanese one class.
Essay taken down.



“Shinto is not a faith tradition that can be propagated or imposed.
Each human community, every human culture, has it’s own version
of Shinto, which is based on accumulated experience, historical memory,
and, perhaps most crucially, the local environment. Shinto recognizes
and celebrates human diversity, just as it recognizes and celebrates the diversity of nature. For beneath that diversity there is an underlying unity - the union of -
humanity, earth, and heaven”.
From the Afterword by Yamakage Motohisa.
