  • The Japanese Religio-Cultural Context
    CHAPTER TWO THE JAPANESE RELIGIO-CULTURAL CONTEXT Introduction This chapter introduces three factors that provide essential background information for my investigation into Endo’s theology of inculturation. First, I give a historical sketch of Japanese religion. Secondly, I look at different types of Shinto and clarify aspects of koshinto that inform contemporary Japanese culture. This is important as koshinto with its modern, psychological, and spiritual meanings is the type of Shinto that I observe in Endo’s attempts at inculturation. In connection with this I introduce the Japanese concept of the ‘divine’, and its role in the history of Shinto-Buddhist-Christian relationships. I also go on to propose that koshinto plays a fundamental role in shaping both different types of womanhood in Japan and the negative theology that forms a background to Endo’s type of inculturation. Outline of Features in Japanese Religious History Japan’s indigenous faith is Shinto, which has its roots in the age prior to 300 B.C. The animistic beliefs of this primal religion developed into a community religion with local shrines for household and guardian gods, where people worshipped the divine spirits. Gradually people began to worship ideal kami, personal kami and ancestorial kami.1 This form of Shinto is frequently called ‘proto-shinto’. Confucianism was introduced to Japan near the beginning of the 5th century as a code of moral precepts rather than a religion.2 Buddhism came to Japan from India 1 The Japanese word kami is usually translated into English by the term deity, deities, spirits, or gods. Kami in Japanese can be singular and/or plural.

In 2008 the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) won both the presidency and a small majority in parliament in an election deemed generally free and fair by domestic and international observers; John Evans Atta Mills was inaugurated president in January 2009. There were instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of government authorities. Human rights problems included the following: use of excessive force by police, which resulted in deaths and injuries; ethnic killings and vigilante violence; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; police impunity; prolonged pretrial detention; arbitrary arrest of journalists; corruption in all branches of government; violence against women and children, including female genital mutilation (FGM); societal discrimination against women, persons with disabilities, gays and lesbians, and persons with HIV/AIDS; trafficking in women and children; ethnic discrimination and politically motivated violence; and child labor, including forced child labor. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed politically motivated killings; however, use of excessive force by security forces resulted in the deaths of several armed criminal suspects and other persons during the year.

  • Health and Healing
    ECK WISDOM © ECKANKAR 2020 droits Tous réservés on Health and Healing EXCERPTS HAROLD KLEMP THE PURPOSE OF HEALING The purpose of healing transcends the cure of a bodily condition. There is a spiritual reason the illness occurred. The process of spiritual healing teaches us something about ourselves we didn’t know before. When the eyes are in trouble, we have to ask, What am I not seeing about my spiritual life that is causing me difficulty with my eyesight? You see, the approach assumes responsibility for whatever is wrong. Once we’re willing to shoulder the blame for our thoughts and actions, the inner force can begin to heal us, even as our understanding of the causes becomes known to us through our dreams or other means. It’s pointless to debate the merits of medical doctors versus chiropractors or herbalists. Your karma differs from that of other people. You as an individual have to find the healing modality that is right for you. Even that can change with time. Your state of consciousness today is not the same as it used to be or it will be in two weeks or a couple of years from now. As karma surfaces, it works out through the weakest point in our body. As quickly as we can release our attachment to whatever is hurting us, we allow the karma to pass off quickly, and our health stays balanced. The key to stay in tune with Divine Spirit. Trough the Spiritual Exercises of ECK, you can be aware of the hints as nudges and whisperings of the Holy spirit as It tries to guide you to the next step to take at any point.

  • Japanese Approaches to Religion / Spirituality Dr. Harold Netland
    Japanese Approaches to Religion / Spirituality Dr. Harold Netland Reaching Japanese for Christ October 9-10, 2009 Religions are “systems of meaning embodied in a pattern of life, a community of faith, and a worldview that articulate a view of the sacred and of what ultimately matters.” [Roger Schmidt, et al., Patterns of Religion p. 10.] Ninian Smart distinguishes seven dimensions of religious phenomena: (1) ritual dimension; (2) “mythological” or narrative dimension; (3) doctrinal or philosophical dimension; (4) ethical dimension; (5) social and institutional dimension; (6) experiential dimension; and (7) material dimension. [N. Smart, Worldviews: Crosscultural Explorations of Human Beliefs, pp. 7-10]. Which of the dimensions are most significant for practitioners of Japanese religious traditions? Shinto Prior to the introduction of Buddhism to Japan in the 6th century AD, there was no special term denoting the web of indigenous religious practices and beliefs already in place in Japan. In order to distinguish the indigenous tradition from Buddhism, the term “Shinto” (way of the kami) was coined. Shinto was thus differentiated from Buddhism (butsudo, "the way of the Buddha"). "I define the word Shinto as the traditional indigenous religious practices of the Japanese people as well as their worldview, based on their concept of kami." [Naofusa Hirai, “Shinto”, p. 280] Shinto is "the ensemble of contradictory and yet peculiarly Japanese types of religious beliefs, sentiments, and approaches, which have been shaped and conditioned by the historical experience of the Japanese people from the prehistoric period to the present." [Joseph M. Kitagawa, “Shinto”, p. 139] Kami “Speaking in general, however, it may be said that kami signifies, in the first place, the deities of heaven and earth that appear in the ancient records and also the spirits of the shrines where they are worshipped.

  • Christianity, Islam, and Judaism Are All Monotheistic Religions Founded in the Middle East
    Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all monotheistic religions founded in the Middle East. Often grouped together as “Abrahamic religions," these three faiths share common history and traditions, a respect for the Bible, a conviction that there is one God, a belief in prophets and divine revelation, and a holy city in Jerusalem, among other things. But Christianity, Islam and Judaism also differ significantly in matters of belief and practice, from their understanding of God to the identity of the prophets and Jesus and the authority of various scriptures. The following chart is intended to be a starting point for understanding these ancient religions and their relationships to one another.
