- With the knowledge of religions, you can enjoy Japan more and more!
But the religious circumstance in Japan is so complicated as even some Japanese people don't understand it well.
I tried best to simplify it, so you can grasp the main features of Shintoism and Buddhism.

Buddhism is beauty....I follow the footsteps of buddha and feel amazing and relaxed all the time because I hve no force to be a certain way and I dont have to change my culture or language or pray a certain way...Buddhism is just a middle path way of life to be a good human being and how we ourselves can achieve enlightenment like Buddha.
Shinto is the truer path that will bring you more relaxation and knowledge.
I follow a sorta mix of both. I've been researching Buddhism and I really enjoy aspects of that religion but I also really enjoy aspects of Shinto. It's what's made me happy and as long as you're following something that makes you happy that's all that matters
@@lilheven1238 sounds forced.
You should learn more about Buddhism.your knowledge is too small about Buddhism. Buddhism is peaceful religion over the world.Buddhist not for pray only for seeking help from Buddha. but it means Buddhist pray for respect Buddha's knowledge and follow path of Buddha."Buddha" means enlightened person.
@@lilheven1238 Well, for you it brings relaxation and knowledge.
I’m very interested in Shintoism and Buddhism as well. You explained them both in a clear way. I would like to visit a Shinto shrine one day
Thank you! Shrine has sacred atmosphere, and I really recommend you to visit :D
@@TheJapanalyst samsara means world
Excellent video. Short, to the point, and well explained. On top of that, explained by a Japanese who grew up in the culture that practices both belief systems.
Thank you so much!
I love how you explain it! Simple but comprehensible, and so objective! Keep up the good work, you just earned another subscriber!
I appreciate your comment. You encouraged me a lot! ^^
Japanese majority are shintoism and buddism.

Both Shintoism and Buddhism in Japan is so beautiful. It is so unique and the concepts they both provide are so relatable and ‘modern’.❤
i am korean and i am buddsit sintonism look similiar to buddsim peace religion my girfriend is from japan here name is tomo i love japan much love japan from korea
Becuase both co existed
except they have gods
Thank you for your video of the two religions. I found Shintoism great which is part of my interest, also I live in the San Francisco Bay Area of California and I am a member of the Konko-Kyo religion in San Francisco. Konko-Kyo was a new Japanese religion since 1859 and it has Shinto traditions incorporated but Konko-Kyo remains independent from Shinto. In my future as an adult, I plan on practicing and praying both Shinto and Konko-Kyo, because I want to find peace in my heart and my heart to the people of Japan! Thank you and let us keep Shinto alive to bring peace and harmony to the world.
Thank you for your comment. The culture of Shintoism couldn't be enough told in this video, and I'm also the one who is inspired much by Shintoism (buddhism as well, and that proves I follow the mixed religions haha). Konko-Kyo is also known as one of the historical religions in Japan. I'd like to post a video someday, but there're many religions in Japan today, which makes it interesting to figure out what kind of root or historical background each religion has.
Good luck on making a video of "Konko-Kyo in Japan" and maybe "New 35 Japanese Religions". I wish you the best!👍❤️🇯🇵⛩☸️🇺🇸❤️
i live in the bay area too! i'm a buddhist though. i never knew we had konko-kyo communities here! that's awesome!
Konkokyo is false Shinto.
I support Japanese Shinto Buddhist mix culture
Shinto and Buddhism should not be mixed
I came here to know the differences between Shintoism and Buddhism. The more I watch, the more I feel similarities between Hinduism and Buddhism & Shintoism. I am an Indian by d way. Hello to my Indian and Japanese brothers and sisters.😊
yes! there are many similarities! i'm a buddhist myself but whenever I see iconography or celebrations of Hinduism or Shintoism I can't help but notice all the similarities! perhaps that's one of the reasons we (generally) get along!
@@Peace-tl1ll hey man you are wrong.Actually it is not proven that Buddha was born in A Hindu family.
@Sunny Jaatavwho said that Buddhism is inspired from Hinduism. First of all you are not a Buddhist I think so. There are many wise persons who are Buddhist but anyone not say that Buddhism is inspired from Hinduism. How you know that Lord Buddha was born in Hindu family. There are not accurate proof and clarified that Lord Buddha was born in a Hindu family.first of all actual Buddhist don't believe that Lord Buddha was a Avatar of Lord Vishnu.
@@gamingneat1337 He was born into a Hindu family undoubtedly. Go read somewhere you'll find it. Also there was no other religion possible.
@@sanmj2007 who said that ? You are spreading false propaganda. Any kinds of Buddhist scriptures and ancient books not claimed that Buddha was born into a Hindu family. Bro read carefully all the books ok. You spreading false propaganda. There are no evidence that Buddha was born into a Hindu family.
Thank you!
You summarized everything in simple terms.
Thank you too, glad to hear that!
Short and sweet :)
Domo arigatou gozaimasu!
Thanks for your comment! :D
Shintoism and Buddhism both are beautiful religions I am Buddhist but buddha teaches us to respect all religions and follow the middle path of living.... 🙏

Recently I uploaded another video about Shintoism custom (the manner at Shrine).
don't miss it!

As someone who has wanted to learn and study Japanese religion this video was extremely helpful. Clear and to the point, I like that.
From the outside, Hinduism, Buddhism and Shintoism seem to have some differences. But in essence, I think they are quite similar. And being a Hindu myself, I can see a lot of similarities between Hinduism and Shintoism.
You are probably not a hindu who knows anything about Buddhism. Buddhism rejecs Shiva, Brahma and Krishna etc.
@@ahad1609 Thailand is a Buddhist majority country where Brahma a Hindu God is one of the most important and respected God of all
Majority of the Thai movie and drama productions start with a ritual prayer to Brahma
Please don't divide and spread hatred between the Indic religions
@@elennet4116 nonsense. Buddha said there is no creator God. There are only Gods. Maybe you should explain the Atheists then that Buddhism allows Gods or that Buddhists like Buddha believed in Gods but simply not in a creator God.
@@ahad1609 Mohammed = Rapist 🐷🤣🔥☪️
@@ahad1609 It's okay, that's your opinion.
You shouldn't disrespect other's beliefs anyways.
Your channel is going to take off. You explained this very clearly and simply. Wish you the best of luck!
Thank you so much! 😊
Shinto is so beautiful. I love how every individual object has its own essence and personality and part of the whole. Water is alive and has a personality, as do the beings that live in the water and attribute to it's personality. All of the elements as well as the different things the elements form and create have essence and personality.
I am from Sri Lanka.
Buddhism is not only a religion it is the path of life. If you have to overcome from your suffering you must follow the path of Buddhism.
Thank you for explaining it in this video! I wanted to know about Shinto and you helped me a lot, a better way to understand it. I'm a Believer of Jesus christ, however I respect your beliefs .
Thank you! I enjoyed this, informative and interesting. I didn’t doze off like I have in other explanations of this topic. Thank you, thank you!!!
Buddhism is the doctrine of seeing and giving up this moment with enlightenment.
Yes I always wondered the difference. Thank you for this video it's really precise and gives me the information I needed. 😁
This is really interesting
As a Hindu I love both Buddhism and Shinto
All 3 religions/cultures are so interesting
I'm a Buddhism in from Bangladesh hill tracks Marma indigenous tribe communities people’s. I proud of my Buddhism religion. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu Namo Buddhay 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the video!! Easy to understand and grasp the ideas! Keep them coming
This was a great video. It was very clear and easy to follow. It helped me to make sense of the different types of structures I saw while I was in Japan (e.g. temples versus shrines). Thank you.
Fantastic. Very simple and to the point.
Very informative thank you 🙏
Great explanation, thank you.
Nice video!
Clear and simple....and accurate!

@Samael you don't know anything about Buddhism. Buddhism is non theistic action based religion. Buddhism is a part Japanese Buddhism is the mixture of Buddhism and Shintoism. Buddhism is philosophical religion and Shintoism is animism which is ritualistic and connected to nature. Japanese did not discard their religion. But now mostly they are atheist. Each country has their own Buddhist culture. Tibetan Buddhism is mixture of their original bon religion with Buddhism. Chan Buddhism is mixture of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. There is also secular Buddhism a western form of Buddhism which is agnostic or atheist, practical and totally compatible with science. Only christian and Islam try to replace other cultures.
@Samael Christianity cancer??? You don't know about Hinduism. Atleast Christianity has equality.
@@iam239090 hinduism has also equality sir...there is lot of differences between varna and jati which u r confusing...so u should come above the biased layers of lies about hinduism then make any argument.... and one more thing, it will be better to say it sanatan rather than hinduism...
@@iam239090 buddhism is a theistic religion too just because some think that buddhism is not thieistic or non theistic or atheistic does not mean that only. there are many gods and god of many levels or hierarchy in buddhism too. it is both theistic and non theistic.
The way you is excellent.. love from Sri Lanka.. I have a Japanese friend... She is very nice... I love Japan. One of my dream to visit Japan and live village life for a month. I was inspired from a teledram called Oshin.
Loved the explanation
I learned something new. Thank u
I thought I’m Buddhist my whole life but I guess I’m Shinto? I don’t even know what I’m believe in 😂
I know the feeling 😂 The more I learn the difference, the more I get confused.. That might be a common feeling among ordinary Japanese people
I cannot remember the exact name. But there is a name for people who believe in both the Buddha and the Kami. I fall into this category
Edit: It is called Shinbustu-Shūgo
@@TheJapanalyst dear Buddhism is not a religion its way of living taught by lord buddha so you can be of any religion but still an buddhist isn't it amazing
@@aryansingh3524 thats verry true. desmond tutu is a famous christian who said "buddhism helped me be a better christian" . it doesnt contradict any religion
shinto has gods and is a religion buddhism is a way of life
nice explanation, keep it up
glad to hear that. Thank you!
I love your channel. Keep going!
Well Hinduism Buddhism Jainism shikhism taoism Shintoism confushism
Zoroastrianism
Eastern Buddhism, taoism,Confucius,shinto.
Fascinating, you did a really great job, thank you for this video and your English is awesome! I would really like to learn more about the accounts of the ancient Japanese in regards to the Kami & other beings like the Oni under Japanese mythology. I think those are very interesting to study and to find differences/similarities with other mythologies from around the Earth. Very interesting, I look forward to seeing your other videos! ⛰
Wonderful video, really concise and informative. Thank you for the great content! I subscribed.
Thank you!
Very good! It's always better to lear cultural details coming from people that belongs to the culture! Well explained! Earned a subscriber!
Thanks! That is exactly what I'm willing to do on this channel the Japanalyst 😊 Thank you for the sub!
I am indian buddist
I hope you will not be reborn but go to the place where you go when your cycle or rebirth stops. Who crested the cycle of rebirth?
Much like katana very clear and concise/!
Very informative ♥️ awsome video
Buddhist ❤️❤️❤️❤️☸️☸️☸️☸️ sri lanka
What Buddhist temple is Hindu symbol Swastika? Buddha really took many things from the religion he was born into. As a Hindu I also know about Samsara, Nirvana etc.
In true Buddhism there are no symbols, no statues.
Shinto is same as Hindu. I'm Hindu from Indonesia. Let's visit Bali and see how same Hindu and Shinto
It's really beautiful
I love the Balinese Hinduism and the Temples there
It is a unique situation, buddhism and shinto coexist yet people go to either a Buddhist shrine or shinto shrine depending on what they pray for 😂
Japanese buddhism also looks Japanese from other countries buddhism, so it is not really foreign at this point... but is not truly as Japanese as Shinto
I loved, Congratulation for this video !!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much, very helpful. Both is beautiful and beautiful together.
Too good
I am Buddist from Sri lanka. I would like to say buddism is not meant to be a relegion. I know people call it as a religion but thats not the fact, fact is its a road which helps humans,gods,soul spirits to unlock the true reality of life.
Little brother. I am from Sri Lanka. Please do a video on traditional medicine in Japan.
I am a Hindu but I really like Buddhism
Shintoism is similar to Shamanism (North Native American Animism), Kaharingan (Dayak Animism), Huna (Hawaiian/Polynesian Animism) and Anitism/Dayawism (Filipino Animism). They're not religions but more like a way of life or worship of life. Anyone can believe in it and practice it. Doesn't necessarily mean they are religious or identify as that belief.
I am indian Buddhist and I loves Buddhist religion bacause buddha religion inspired to humanity's...❤️nam a di da phat❤️
I am interesting for this beautiful Channel
And to know more..- 🌍🌍🌍🎁🎁
Growing up in Western culture, I prefer Shintoism.
Hello man ! Your explaining is good but You should learn about birth place of Gautam Budhha .! Gautam Budhha was born in Nepal not in India.!
at that time india extended from afghanistan to cambodia and nepal was also part of it it was called as bharat varsh
Siddhartha was born in Nepal. Buddha was born in india.
@@AkashChauhan-vc7vl the correct way to put it is Siddhartha was born in Nepal but became Buddha(got enlightenment) in India.
@@Peace-tl1ll modern day Nepal-Lumbini to be exact
First...siddhartha gautama born in nepal not in india and he belonged to a hindu family...he got buddha(enlightment) in bodhgaya(bihar,india,bordered with nepal).....and 2nd,believe me or not bt both sintoism and buddhism seems quite similar to vedic hinduism(not the hinduism we see today), specially the soul part and gods part....idk bt it seems to me
Thanks for you video ! I'm loking for more information about shintoism.. I'm interessed on animism religion. Thank you
Can anyone become a Kami in Shintoism?
Does Shintoism have an "enlightenment" concept?
Thanks for your help!
theoretically yes, but it's not that easy. there're some became Kami in Shintoism, but generally speaking they were the highly respected people.
Simultaneously they were on a way of achieving something, but died with huge resentment. People were afraid of their resentment, and so they come to be enshrined.
And as for Enlightenment, the answer is no, in that shintoism has no clear doctrine. There're many Kamis in Shintoism, but episodes about each kami are really unique, and clearly different from the ones of buddhism.
I follow both. To me, Shinto is my chores for the soul while I'm alive. And Buddhism is my chores for the soul for when I depart this world.
After watching your video it seems like Shintoism is pretty similar to Hinduism. People say it's not a religion. Hindus worship littaraly everything. We have like 33 million gods and goddesses and beings. You are free to make up your own god and worship .
1) Indian God Ganesha Called in Japan :- KANGITEN / VINAYAKA-TEN - we both worshipped as a Remover of Obstacles & a God of Good Fortune.....
2) Indian Goddess Saraswati Called in Japan :- BENZAITEN - Represented with Musical Instrument BIWA / VEENA in her Hand..
3) Indian God BRAHMA called in Japan :- BON -TEN - is Represented with Four Face & Four Arms. He Lords over the Heavenly Realm of Rebirth Called The Brahmaloka.
4) Indian Goddess LAKSHMI called in Japan :- KICHIJJO-TEN worshipped as the goddess of Fortune , Prosperity & Beauty. Depicted with NYOIHOJU GEM / Gold Coins in her Hands & Standing on LOTUS FLOWER..
5) Indian God INDRA called in Japan :- Lord TAISHAKU-TEN is the KING OF HEAVEN & RIDES ON AN ELEPHANT. He is a Chief among Demigods..
6) Indian God YAMA called in Japan :- Lord EMMA - TEN . He Rides on a BUFFALO . After death everyone has to appear before EMMA-TEN . He is the Chief Judge in the After Life..
7) Indian God Shiva Called in Japan :- DAIJIZAI-TEN / DAIKOKUTEN , Lord of Cosmic destruction Rides on a Bull ( Nandi )....
Hi, great video. I was curious if you could answer how the Shinto belief in ancestor veneration and the Buddhist concept of reincarnation is explained. Because from the outside it looks like these beliefs contradict. Does the spirit of the life stick around or does it go through another cycle of birth and death? Thanks!
This explains why Japenese considers animate but not living things as "alive" such as a flowing river and a moving cartoon. It's a Shinto belief.
There is also third brother
Which is called Hinduism
I can't tell if this guy is 14 or 23.
Otherwise, great video thank you!
I’m 23 haha. Thank you too!
We love you Buddha
Well done!
who is bodhisen does you know them
thank you naoto
How do people follow both Shintoism and Buddism at the same time? Dont they contradict? The law of noncontradiction is the most fundamental of logical principals
🙏
I feel like "swastika" has such a strong negative connotation in the west now that you might as well just call 卍 "manji" instead. Otherwise, some people might still misunderstand the meaning. Many people are ignorant that it was a much older symbol used in Buddhism and other cultures. The word swastika is derived from Sanskrit though, so even that word is unrelated to the Nazi's use of the symbol. Just a thought on translation; When do you decide to make a translation or when to just use the Japanese word instead?
You are also ignorant to the fact that this symbol was used in Etruria by Etruscians and many other ancient European cultures.
thankyou bro
as a buddhist i often get confuse between shintoism and buddhism
finally this vdo made it clear
when i was younger i went on a trip to japan and i was surprise that shinto monk can marry and have a children
and that is not allow and it has been consider as forbidden thing among buddhism monk
There are three roads that lead to God, One is the path of faith and worship, the other is the path of good works performed for the love of God and a third a path through knowledge to wisdom that leads to God. But you will find that all three are but one and the same.
Buddhism came through China and Korea through West , while shintoism came from the Jomons in the north. I argue they have tribal spiritual elements like animism that is similar to native North americans through Siberia and Alaska. Making shintoism an religion with a native link.
Buddhism come through India
Cool stuff,here’s another fun fact,Buddhism was as simple as Shintoism but it mixed with china beliefs to be more complicated
shintoism is beautiful ❤
2:44 I thought Bodhi Sena from India brought Budhism to Japan
Does "hotoke" refer to multiple buddhas, or does it refer to Gautama, the original buddha?
thanks for your question.
Hotoke is a general term for multiple buddhas.
Is there a difference between hotoke and oshakasama?
Is vegetarianism important in shintoism?
hmm, Shintoism looks similar to Hinduism
Shintoism is like puran in Hinduism and .. rice is unbreakable as it like devine food
Because all religions comes from Shamanism, basically Shinto is from Central Asian Nomads.
it's pretty similar! sorta like a hinduism but with different dieties.
Ha ghusa yaha bhi tumhara dharm ...jaha jati pratha ..hai ...balvivah jaise ghinone kam hai ..tum logo ko har jagah apna mythology dharm ghusane ki adat hui hai. .india me buddha jain related sculpture mile...to bhi hindu scriptures bolke hadap liya ..bs na
@@Jack-qz1lq nobody said they are same. They are similar as many asian religions and dead religions of west (dead because of some intolerant religions).
Very similar to original American Tribal religion, same people that came from Asia via Alaska/North America
Great vid thanks, Shintoism and Tengrism have close similarities, our Turk ancestors and some Turks today have " Kök Tengri " belief.
Some places Buddhism dedicated by a wheel called dhamma chakra ☸️
This video:
1. Place of Worship
2. The Origin
3. Kami (gods) and Hotoke (Buddhas)
I think more fundamentally, the 3 differences would be:
1. General difference: almost no doctrine, cosmology, teachings at all (Shinto) vs. deep, complex doctrine, cosmology, teachings (Buddhism) (exemplified by the huge corpus of writings for the latter); however, generally Japanese folks are ignorant of both, so asking will be futile most of the time.
2. Shinto generally is just shrine culture (going to shrines in new year, or for good luck in taking tests, etc.); however, a tiny minority is Sect Shinto, actual religions that grew out of Shinto background - these actually have teachings, worship, etc. Some of the more famous ones are Konko-kyo, Omoto-kyo (famous from Aikido), etc.
3. Buddhism in Japan has many sects that are extremely different from each other: main divisions are one-practice Buddhism (Pure Land sects and Nichiren sects - basically just chant to be saved), Zen (emphasis on self-cultivation via meditation), and Mikkyo (emphasis on secret cultivation methods - similar to Tibetan Buddhism).
During COVID, interestingly - Shinto shrines almost always stayed open throughout - they are essentially tourism spots after all - but Buddhist temples mostly closed in tandem with emergency periods.
Which religion do you practice if you have a religion? I grew up following Hinduism but converted to Nichiren Buddhism, nearly six years ago. I like Buddhism because it is not a religion as such, philosophy bla, bla, bla.
Oh Nichiren Buddhism is one of the prominent sects in Japan!
Well, I would say I do have a religion, but I practice both of Shintoism and Buddhism. I follow the ways of thinking of the both religions. To be honest, I can't say which religion is more dominant for me.
Are gods mentioned in kazuki and other text real or just kamis or folklore?
I love shintoism and hinduism
Can someone tell me how is it so important for japanese people to worship so many Gods?
u made wrong statement Buddha was born in Lumbini and it is in Nepal.
