Religious & Philosophical Systems in Japan Name Date College Instructor Buddhism Buddhism is a religion based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who lived about 25 centuries ago in what is now Nepal and northern India. He came to be called "the Buddha," which means "awakened one," after he experienced a profound realization of the nature of life, death and existence. In English, the Buddha was said to be enlightened which means "awakened." In the remaining years of his life, the Buddha traveled and taught. However, he didn't teach people what he had realized when he became enlightened. Instead, he taught people how to realize enlightenment for them. He taught that awakening comes through one's own direct experience, not through beliefs and dogmas. Introduction of Buddhism in Japan "The introduction of Buddhism to the Japanese archipelago from China and Korea in the sixth century causes momentous changes amounting to a fundamentally different way of life for the Japanese. Along with the foreign faith, Japan establishes and maintains for 400 years close connections with the Chinese and Korean courts and adopts a more sophisticated culture" (Asia for Educators. 2009). DO NOT CHANGE THIS QUOTED PART & DO NOT ADD MORE QUOTES – THANKS!!!!! The history of Buddhism in Japan starts when Buddhism was introduced about 1450 years ago during the Nara period. We can say that it has a very long history. It all began, according to Chinese records when a monk delegation from China left for Fusang which might be Japan. The official introduction, according to the Japanese records actually happens in 552 CE (some say 538) when monks from Korea, this time, came to Japan and introduced the principal precepts of Buddhism and brought some treasures with them. The first years were not actually easy as Buddhism became one more tool in the struggle for power over the imperial dynasty by the Soga clan over the rival brother’s clans. The story goes that Emperor Kinmei, not sure what to do with these gifts, consulted with his advisors. The advisers were divided in two camps: Soga no Iname said that Japan should adopt Buddhism as it was the religion all the powerful and civilized countries had and Japan, striving to be powerful should imitate them. The other clan consisted of two brothers rejecting Buddhism ways by saying that if they adopted it, the local cities would undoubtedly be angered. The Sogas seized to opportunity to promote Buddhism and other “Western ideas” (from China and Korea) like Confucianism and other governmental and cultural models from China. For them it was a way to civilize Japan and give power to the emperor. The rival clans opposed the Buddhism as a foreign invasion and when an epidemic started after the importation of a statue, they claimed the local Kami were not in agreement with the new religion. They threw the idol in the river and burned the temple to the ground. (That statue was retrieved and now is in Zenkoji, Nagano.) A 5 ...

Chinese religious beliefs

Padme Amidala

In addition to the five main religions, Chinese people have some other traditional folk beliefs. More than 200 million people believe the existence of the ancestors’ souls and worship them, while about 700 million have taken part in the activities to worship their ancestors or related activities. About 150 million people believe in Fengshui theory and 140 million people believe in God of Wealth. Chinese Astrology is very popular and many people think the sign can decide one’s characters and future. Thus, it is obvious that the traditional folk belief has a wide foundation among the local people. Now, more and more Chinese people are fond of constellation in western culture. In the beginning of a new year, some people will watch some fortune telling programs to see whether they can succeed in the next year and learn how to avoid back luck.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docx

James Knipper

Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Jude: Practical Exhortations_Jude 17-23.pptx

Stephen Palm

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
