Buddhism in Japan
Tory: Japan is almost giving you pointers for dealing with the unknowable. They have what they call kami-sama, which are deities who inhabit every blade of grass and every speck of dust,. And from the Japanese point of view, they walk through this realm of deities wherever they go. When I go to Japan, a part of visiting Japan is dropping in on Shinto temples. The Buddhist temples often open from nine to five the way a church might be in the west.
