“In Japan, faith leaders pray for an end
to the pandemic.” I saw this item of
information the other day.
When you click on this link, you will see
not only the article about this event but also a photograph of Todaiji Temple
in Nara. I believe that it is the
largest wooden building in the world.
I find it so impressive that these faith
leaders are performing, and will perform, this religious act together, despite
their religious differences. This is one
of the things I admired most when I first went to Japan: religious
toleration. Buddhism and Shinto coexist
peacefully, side by side, and many people have connections to both. There is a small minority of Christians
(about 1.5%, I think), with churches in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, and
many other places. Islam and Judaism
also have places of worship. All these
groups seem to get along peacefully in Japan, without regarding each other as
“enemy.” As a person from a mixed
Christian and Jewish background (with a serious interest in Buddhism), I found
this comforting.
Tōdai-ji - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tōdai-ji
Tōdai-ji (東大寺,
Eastern Great Temple) is a Buddhist temple complex that was once one of the
powerful Seven Great Temples, located in the city of Nara, Japan. Though it was
originally founded in the year 738 CE, Todai-ji was not opened until the year
752 CE.
