5 minutes on SHINTO - The Japanese Art of Living

What is SHINTO(神道)? SHINTO is a Japanese indigenous religion, more of a philosophy of life that brings harmonious living. SHINTO literary means, Way (道) of God (神).

When it comes to Japanese religion, you may think of Buddhism. However, the most unique aspect of the Japanese way of life is deeply rooted in SHINTO, tracing back from Jyomon period 14,000 BC – 300BC. There is no Dogma, no founder. It is based on the belief that gods are in nature.

We connect to the god through our seasonal and daily rituals for purification. SHINTO, a way of life is open to anyone.

I practice the Shinto way and Zen as best I can here in Ohio on the west side of town years ago there lived a very kind Japanese man who had Torii gate at the entrance to his beautiful garden ⛩️

Thank you for speaking English. You are courteous and, being aware of your efforts, I think you are a teacher. Thank you for sharing these vital ideas. I appreciate you.

Beautiful, I love Shinto, I try to practice it daily and it is such a wonderful thing to connect with nature and the spirits within. Thank you

I am still learning many Japanese philosophies. Many times there are such beautiful revelations such as, "Nature is the way to connect to our higher selves..."
And learning that Buddhism and Shinto have co-existed peacefully for over 1500 years is wonderfully reassuring for someone who finds religious zealotry a form of aggression and therefore distasteful.
I have much gratitude for this talk and I will seek out more of your wisdom.

I have no real religion, just a nature-based spiritual belief (some of my friends call me "pagan, " my Catholic mother called me "heathen"). I moved to Japan and lived there for three years. Both spiritually and mentally, I felt so much more at home there. Is that strange for a foreigner to say?

I miss living in Japan. I'd like to move back someday.

I love how your teeth sparkle like diamonds(emphasis on sparkling quality). Speaks volumes about the quality of diet and overall life style. Western idea of healthy teeth means just white which can bleech off the healthy shiny enamel and results in unhealthy sensitive teeth which age faster.

[GULAB]

Very beautiful. Thank you for lovely explanation.

[Platon]

Thank you.. It's very clear and peaceful.

I’m still young and 17 but I have always believed in my heart that their is energy all around us and nature is sacred. I’ve believed in something more but never a bible or a singular god. I’m rlly glad I learned about Shinto and am excited to explore as I think it fits well with my beliefs. Can you practice Shinto if you are not Japanese? Thank you 🙏🏻

[adamcaul]
