    Thank you for this! When I first learned about Shintoism it was an epiphany and made sense of Japanese culture as a whole with it's strong sense of collectivism, simplicity, appreciating nature as it is, and how that gets reflected in the love of seasons, traditional wood working, love of hiking, all of it. I think what's most lovely to me (as a person from America where Christian extremism has been tearing us apart) is that Shintoism and Buddhism are completely focused on doing good NOW in the life you have, the life we KNOW we have, rather than speculating about afterlife and behaving good JUST to AVOID punishment. Really reflects the collectivism and individualism of societies. Thanks again Taiji and happy New Year!

      Yes, both collectivism and individualism can go too far. Balance is key as with many things in life. On that token, being in the US myself, I'd also like to add that radical anti-religious/anti-spiritual attitudes are also tearing us apart. Really the problem is not one or the other, it's hyper-polarization, or as western propagandists would call it, "divide and conquer".

    I'm a Buddhist, descendent of the Shakya clan from which Buddha came from and that was a very precise description of Buddhism. It's not about worshiping a god to make them happy, it's about living a happy and peaceful life. As you said it's not a religion it's a philosophy or way of living

      Each religion offers its own approach to spirituality and ways of life. The perception of calmness or intensity in a religion can vary greatly depending on personal experiences, interpretations, and cultural contexts.Christianity may be seen as having more structured beliefs and practices, it also emphasizes principles such as love, forgiveness, and peace.

I absolutely love that and I am going to find a mirror for my meditation corner because although I go through what I could have done better every day, the idea of the mirror could bring an even stronger reminder. I really enjoy your videos BTW. Thank you again. You remind us of what is important in life IMHO.

    I think you shoud have focused more on the number 8 and infinity. In discussing the symbolic importance of the number "8" in Shintoism, seen in concepts like 八百万の神 (Yaoyorozu no Kami), 八咫烏 (Yatagarasu), and 八岐大蛇 (Yamata no Orochi), it's crucial to recognize its association with infinity and its significance in Eastern philosophy. The Kanji form of "8"、八 suggests openness and infinity, a notion originating from China. And the number "8" in it's written form, originated in India and Hinduism, on its sideways symbolizes infinity, blending mathematical, spiritual, and existential meanings.
    A foundational argument in Shintoism is that if gods are infinite, they don’t start with an ‘A’ and end with a ‘Z’; there are no boundaries to what can or cannot be considered divine. This logic suggests that humans, stones, or even the bones of dead fish cannot definitively be said to lack divinity, reflecting a belief system without strict separations between the sacred and the mundane.
    Following this, the notion of 八百万の神, while often translated as “eight million gods,” more fittingly expresses an endless pantheon, showcasing the infinite diversity within Shinto spirituality. Similarly, 八岐大蛇 isn’t just a mythical serpent but represents the complex and boundless nature of evil, mirroring the concept of infinite malevolence in various religious narratives.
    This emphasis on infinity is central not only to Shintoism but also to Buddhism and other non-Abrahamic religions, underscoring a global endeavor to understand the infinite facets of existence and divinity. Philosophical explorations, like those by Spinoza, further illuminate this perspective, proposing that divinity permeates all aspects of the natural world, from the mundane to the extraordinary.
    The term “god” might not adequately convey the breadth of what “Kami” means in Shintoism, which refers to a broad spectrum of divine spirits or essences, distinct from the monotheistic interpretations prevalent in Western traditions. Therefore, adopting “Kami” rather than “god” offers a more precise and respectful understanding of the profound spirituality embedded in these Eastern traditions.

    This was very well done and informative. If we ever get to Japan, visiting a Shinto shrine is on the list of things to see and as I understand photos from only the outside. To me many of them are architecturally stunning. I did know about washing one’s hands, but the clapping and bowing I was unaware of. Nice to know if we do visit to know what is the expected behavior.
    It’s like an upcoming trip to Europe and visiting their magnificent cathedrals.

    As a Spaniard our religion is probably one of the most destructive things that has ever happened to humanity (and it still is to this day). Catholicism has caused so much suffering around the world, so now as a young spanish person and an atheist it's very hard for me to imagine religion as a positive thing. Very interesting to see buddhism and specially shintoism are more focused on peace and nature. Thanks for this video!

      ​​​​​​​​​@@taijiskitchenYes, there is beauty and honesty in all *honest* spiritual traditions, but some "bad actors" twist them into cult-like mindsets for selfish gain at the expense of others. Hyper-polarization is really the problem we're watching manifest throughout history, not one particular "belief system" (BS, heh) or perspective.
      Thank you for your work :) After learning so much about Japanese culture and even studying the language itself (not to mention all of this starting from being exposed to Japanese art and media ever since I was a child) I feel called to at least visit Japan once at some point.

    Damn, this is very deep but beautiful. One can never guess the amount of culture behind a country on plain sight. I kind like more this approach to life and I feel it more according to my personal belifes. Also it's very crazy certain similarities between this an the mesoamerican philosophy and religion (I'm mexican) where gods are not the same concept. Teotl is often translated as god but for the ancient people and actual native people, these deities where the conscious manifestation of every aspect in life and the universe, not just being that control such things, as such Tlaloc is not a man that controls the rain, he is the rain itself, Quetzalcoatl is the wisfom and wind or Tezcatlipoca is the night, but well for the simplicity they call them gods 😅, and as such every aspect of nature was respected, caves are secred places where is said these being inhabit.
    Also the Buddhism philosophy about suffering is also similar, litetally aztec children were received at birth with a speech that ended with "you have come to suffer, suffer and persever" but was more of the belief that you have a role in the world and you must fullfill it (which also include paying respect to gods, honoring your family, respecting nature, making sacrifices and offerings, working and always looking for a way to help your community) and life is a constant cycle where suffering was common but with it and the fullfillment of said duty, also came happines and the prove of a well lived life, as the universe was made in duality, every aspect of the universe had a indivisible counterpart, and both couldn't exist without the other: Life and Death, Light and Darkness or Fire and Water. Even the god were dual as every aspect had a male and female part (which means a male god and female god) or some gods were opposites, like Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, opposites, but one was not better than the other, and both were equally worshipped. as such things like good and evil was so simple, as a person has both parts like or not, so for them, it was more about balance, which is the way the universe works.
    Of course there were also sacrifices which not gonna lie, were horrible, but even blood offering was view as a way to thank the gods who sacrificed themselves so there could be life (still was very extreme but well).
    Sadly this ancient wisdom was almost destroyed and forbidden and persecuted and even today those who still keep it alive are look down upon, mocked or ashamed, but they still keep going with dignity.
    Japan's philosophy always fascinated me and I think is also because of the similarities between our ancesters beliefs rather thatn the catholic beliefs, which I have steadily lost faith and connection with, and I have opted for this kind of thinking, where suffering is constant but you must work to get on with life and fullfill your purpose, which is like I would also dig into buddhism more and learn about it, and also I hope I get to visit Japan one day..
    Of course I don't say that outloud or else my mother is gonna smack my face 😂
    Sorry for the long post, greetings and thanks for the education and can't wait for your next videos.

    Is there a correct or incorrect way to bow? How deep do you bow in different situations?
    Like for example, your bows before the 鳥居 and before praying. Also, compared to the temple, where you bowed less deeply. Maybe I'm just overthinking into it.
    (I hope these are the correct kanji (とりい))

    There was also persecution of Japanese Christians during certain periods in Japan. An example of this is the 26 Martyrs of Japan.
    So, as is the case with religion usually, it’s a bit more complicated…

    I think Shintoism is very similar to Taoism with regards to respect for and becoming one with nature; and both blended well with Buddhism. As a Catholic, I believe Christianity can also blend with some of the Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto concepts, especially about respect and living peacefully with others. Jesus stressed tolerance or patience with rude people as well as showing compassion even to strangers. It is sad that wars often happen after Jesus left because of fanaticism or the strong urge to forcefully convert others. Jesus never told his apostles to teach and convert others against their will or use violence to subdue others. Christianity has deteriorated from divine spiritual teachings to dogmatic and political agenda like what Spain did to conquer Philippines. Teaching Christian philosophy must be done out of love and in a peaceful manner like in Buddhism. Coexistence is the key.

      No, you are wrong. Both are different. Hinduism believes in casteism. While Buddhism believes in Equality, inner peace, joy. Hindu hate Buddhists. They destroyed Buddhist Universities Nalanda, Takshila, Valbhi etc. they converted so many Buddha's statues in different name of Hindu Gods.
      Buddhism notably rejects such as atman (substantial self or soul) and the existence of a creator God (Ishvara).

    It's interesting but way back then you did believe the Emperor was a descendant of God. I know that now that is no longer a thing, but I thought the Shinto traditionalist and population did believe this to be true.
    And also I have to push back on the whole 7:00 point "as long as our religion respects your religion then we respect your religion as well...and that's why in Japan you can never imagine a religious conflict." .....YET, there were conflicts historically. There were religious conflicts between Christianity/Catholics and there was murder of missionaries or their own people (who had to hide their new faith) in Japan.
    To neatly summarize that Japan had NO religious conflict is devastatingly white washing and untrue. If you are talking about the present moment, of course I can agree that I haven't heard anyone in Japan murder someone over their religion, but back then you could be persecuted and killed by being a Christian. This is very strange to me that you would tell your audience/followers that Buddhism/Shintoism is a religion of peace or perhaps it is much better practice when this is not the case historically.

      as I explained in the video, there has been siege of religious riots, like Shimabara Rebellion or Siege of Mount Hiei. but these has not been conflict due to the difference of beliefs.
      the Christianity was banned during some time in the Japanese history, not because of its beliefs, but because some of them were taking Japanese as slaves or was destructive in the Japanese society.

      @@deborahrivera6064 my Mother is actually half Japanese her Mother was born in Amori. The only reason my grandmother became a believer was because my uncle, her son who's a retired NASA engineer, told her about the historical evidence for Christ in relation to the core doctrines of the Bible. So please excuse me if this came off as arrogant but I do have a personal connection with Japan and I have great relationships with my family in Japan which consist of mostly cousins. I am not one of those Christians who thinks that he is better than everybody else as a matter of fact I believe that the God of the Holy Bible loves everybody including myself equally because I believe that this love is on an infinite level. What's more I was not implying that Japanese people will be judged for not believing in the God that I believe in. In fact it is my belief that people who are subjected to judgment are the people that engage in heinous crimes and or have heard an unperverted version of the gospel know the evidence is real and reject it. But I also believe there are other factors especially when you consider he's a God of compassion It would probably be safe to assume that each person's life circumstances are taken into account for what would truly constitute as blasphemy against the Spirit. I believe my job as a Christian is to tell people once and as a ultimate maximum of twice.

      @@MoonVoidYT if you want you can ask God to reveal himself to you. In Christianity we believe that when you ask you ask sincerely and do not demand or challenge and that you ask in private when no one is around. You may or may not get some sort of confirmation sign when God reveals it to you. But if you do get confirmation something will happen that is extremely out of the ordinary to where you know you got your confirmation and your answer by God. A typical Christian prayer to reveal God would sound like this " Jesus Christ I want to know if you are real if you are the God and creator of all things including the universe if it is your will please reveal yourself to me" followed by "in Jesus name Amen"
