Japan Buddhism
Do you think Japan Buddhism concern in our life?
Yes, I think so.
I think there are 5 examples about Japan Buddhism.
1.Before Japanese have a meal, they say “Itadakimasu”. “Itadakimasu” is one of custom in Japan. This means gratitude feelings for person who make meal and animals and fishes.
2.There is the Buddhist festival of the dead in Japan. This is that we visit each ancestor grave to mourning the dead on August.
3. In USA, when we meet new person and our superiors, Amenican shakes hands. However, Japanese bow to them.
4. We pay a visit to a shrine in order to wish our happy life and my future.
5. We offered flowers at the altar. I think this is our wish which each dead person makes peaceful fellings.
