Religion: Shintoism
Top Three Truths
Develop a list of what you consider to be the Top 3 Truths (TFTs) from your readings of the textbook and instructor notes. Your truths need to be:
Numbered 1-3
Written in complete sentences
Substantive in nature. By substantive, I mean choose truths that best define and describe the religion you are studying. There are many things from which you can select but they should relate, in one way or another, to the aforementioned major doctrines focusing on God, Man, Sin and Salvation/Liberation. MY best students will always write 3-5 sentences PER truth. Expand, elaborate and illustrate these top five truths!
Don’t copy straight out of the textbook. Put these truths in your own words.
H.O.T Reflection Question
H = Higher; O = Order; T = Thinking.
This is a question that requires some reflection and thought, some analysis and some synthesis that is to be based on your knowledge of the topic. In 75-100 words (must be in complete sentences), answer the following question:
Why do you think many in Japan drifted towards Buddhism over Shinto? Was there a need or longing not being met that the beliefs of Buddhism filled and Shinto could not? When you look at the two religions, what do you think the people saw as the benefit to Buddhism? Explain your answers. I want to hear YOUR voice and YOUR thoughts.
