I practice the Shinto way and Zen as best I can here in Ohio on the west side of town years ago there lived a very kind Japanese man who had Torii gate at the entrance to his beautiful garden ⛩️

Well said.

I have no real religion, just a nature-based spiritual belief (some of my friends call me "pagan," my Catholic mother called me "heathen"). I moved to Japan and lived there for three years. Both spiritually and mentally, I felt so much more at home there. Is that strange for a foreigner to say? I miss living in Japan. I'd like to move back someday.

I am still learning many Japanese philosophies. Many times there are such beautiful revelations such as, "Nature is the way to connect to our higher selves..." And learning that Buddhism and Shinto have co-existed peacefully for over 1500 years is wonderfully reassuring for someone who finds religious zealotry a form of aggression and therefore distasteful. I have much gratitude for this talk and I will seek out more of your wisdom.

I’m still young and 17 but I have always believed in my heart that their is energy all around us and nature is sacred. I’ve believed in something more but never a bible or a singular god. I’m rlly glad I learned about Shinto and am excited to explore as I think it fits well with my beliefs. Can you practice Shinto if you are not Japanese? Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks! I love Shinto.....

I love how your teeth sparkle like diamonds(emphasis on sparkling quality). Speaks volumes about the quality of diet and overall life style. Western idea of healthy teeth means just white which can bleech off the healthy shiny enamel and results in unhealthy sensitive teeth which age faster.

Thank you.. It's very clear and peaceful.

Great insights in this video that I have not received from other videos on Shinto. I like the analogy to quantum physics.

Thank you : )

Fantastic ❤. I am a follower of Shinto especially I follow Kannagara Shinto shrine of Kissimmee Florida and the grand Tsubaki shrine of North America. I learned much from them and Konkokyo Yokosuka Kyokai Fukadadai Yokosuka, Kanagawa Japan. I'm grateful to them and i thank you for posting this. And to the kami-sama 🙏🙏👏👏🙏❤️

With respect, why do you prefer not to say "God"? I love learning about Shinto because I love natural life in seasons, animals and plants, each living thing so very beautiful. Japanese wisdom is a wonderful way of thinking and doing.

Japanese people (at least the ones I've talked to about this) feel like the concept of "God" in the west is different to their concept. I still do not fully understand how so.

This is such a good insight, as am starting for Shintoism.😁👀

An absolute pleasure to listen to your broadcasts in excellent english. Thank you.

I think "Shinto" = "Way of Spirits". It would in fact be a more favourable translation into English because the Western concept of monotheistism of G-od with a capital G is not the same thing as that in Shintoism which is more diffuse eg spirit of pebble and spirit of forest for comparison. The Western concept of G-od is very Human-centric focus also. Kami = Spirit in general and the vague of the term is imo it's most useful property. The endless nonsense we've had to witness over the centuries in the West trying and failing to define God by contrast... A great example of this blunder: Often messages are of the the type "JC saves!" Wrong. "JC's message saves!"

Domo arigatogozaimasu! I appreciate your detailed translation and explanation. I like the concept of purification, cleaning ritual. Do you think it originated from when Izanagi-no-kami returned from the underworld and bathe in the river? Also would you consider "kami" more of a spirit or god? Thanks Azumi 🙇

I believe the concept of kami-sama as actually more complex and in fact transcends the concepts of spirit and god. It feels to me to be an honorific of something or someone.

Hi! Excited to watch more of your videos! I do have a small question should you have time? I'm considering placing a kamidana in my home, however the only place I have available that's suitable for one is a large, shallow closet which unfortunately faces north, but after searching, I couldn't find anyone explaining how taboo it is. Would it be better to not have a kamidana for now or would it still be acceptable?

Shinto is like animism/shamanism everywhere else.

Very helpful video with simple, concise, and precise explanations, Could you recommend a good book to learn more about Shinto? I only know of "Shinto: The Kami Way" by Sokyo Ono.

It was refreshing to discover shinto because I have always seen things the same way. I would be interested about learning about some of the cleansing practices etc. Is there a single book kind of like the shinto bible or where can this knowledge be found?

Could you make a lecture about zen buddhism?
