What is Shinto?

A brief presentation on what Shintoism is. Please ignore and forgive the narrator, I worked on the video, the images and information... all he was left with was narration.

Shinto, is the best religion in the world. Not bcuz I belive in it, however, the knowledge makes much more sence than any other religion. That I have heard of.

i have so much respect for eastern religions, at least they dont try to convert like christianity and islam

It seems to me that Shinto provides a way of life. Whether the gods are real is rather irrelevant compared to something concrete like values. Shinto deities represent real life forces anyways.

[KamiRotasu]

Point to make: Buddhism doesn't view the material world as "evil" per say, just ultimately unfulfilling. Buddha never said it was evil, just that all things would end. Pleasure is only temporary. Hell, Buddha said pain was only temporary too, and the way to Enlightenment was to stop drawing such petty distinctions. Despite Shinto being very life-affirming and Buddhism tending to shun the material world, the two religions are actually quite compatible.

Your story of Ameterasu being coaxed out the cave is unlike any of the others I've heard. Were did you hear that one? I always heard Ame-no-Uzume coaxed her out... also, learn pronunciation. That's all I'mma say.

This is a very poor presentation. You keep saying "shintu" and you included Chinese music.

@younguy1979 I never seen that and Women had to fight for there rights its not like Western Society men just gave it to them

[Mitchx42]

As men approach me, so I receive them. All paths, Arjuna, lead to me. Bhagavad Gita 4.11

Shintoism is great it allows the individual perceive God and dosent bog down the mind with Dogma etc

@luscioussensual sorry but you need to know that orthodox christianity doesnt try to convert, we dont have the concept of proselytism, like protestants or catholics . So it depends, we dont come to your door and say: hey Jesus that, and Jesus so... if you wish to seek wisdom, you come alone, not bye force.

i see, but just because western women got their freedom till 1800 doesn't mean it's not good now. so speaking in today's terms, the japanese women are treated like SHIT by their men. it's horrible. by part, it's because of this religion. sorry chick.

[forgottenmemories63]

@younguy1979 Well, To remind you again, American women got their freedom only a few hundred years ago. Women were treated more or less equal to men in Eastern societies, The purpose of women was just that, Looking after kids, Taking care of the house and tending to their families, This was same all over the world till 1800s. Only after the Industrialization do we see women gain rights and we think about all this.

There is a lot of difference between Western and Eastern Societies.

i'm not sure about that. if u see japanese women compared to our american women.... it's not the same. american women have all equality and freedom while japanese women in their culture seems....passive and servantlike
