شینتوئیزم فارسی 1387

Shinto, the indigenous religion of the Japanese people, is relatively unknown among the world's religions. The Japanese people have long believed in and worshipped "kami." Shinto means "the way of the kami." Unlike Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, Shinto has no founder or holy book. In its aspects, Shinto involves belief in the kami, traditions by the mind and spirit of the kami, and the spiritual life achieved through worship of the kami and in union with him. In its universal aspect, Shinto is more than a religious belief and is a combination of spirits and attitudes, ideas, and ways of doing things that have become a major part of the way of the Japanese people for two thousand years or more. In this book, the author explains Shintoism and its customs.
