Medieval Japan ( News Letter )

Buddhism Was Born In Japan!   New law that King Siddhartha made. Buddhism was just found from all over the world starting from India in the Five Hundred's B.C.E. About One Thousand years later it came to Japan from China by ways of Korea.  Before the Japanese People started to do Buddhism, Japan’s original religion was Shinto. Which Shinto stresses purifying whatever is unclean, such as dirt, wounds, and disease. Touching the most dead also make one unclean. Most of all, however, Shintoist celebrate life and beauty of nature.These are the things that they believed in 1. spirits 2. wind 3. lighting 4. rivers 5. mountains 6. trees and last but not least they believed in Emperors. Buddhism is pain + suffering = life. The founder of buddhism is a God name Siddhartha. There is a moral code for Buddhism, there is Eight commandments for the moral code and they are: 1. Respect for others 2. Acting right 3. Achieving wisdom through meditation. If you achieve nirvana, seeing life as it “Really” is you will never have to suffer through the pain again. Buddhism is just like Christianity because they have a God who was born, died, and born again. Bodhisattvas believed in Angel who would help them and others. Christianity and Buddhism are like them same but different in many ways. Christianity has one God and they believe that God ( Jesus Christ ) created everything in the whole world before we were created. The only difference about Buddhism is that they didn’t have the first 2 people who their God created. The first people who the Christians God created was Adam and Eve. Those are the things that are similar and not similar. Buddhism has one God who they worship on a daily basis and that the Buddha God. They do not have a God like the Christians have, Their religion is more different and easier to handle.
