Q:Information: - Religion is a cultural system of behaviors and practices, world views, sacred texts, holy places, ethics, and societal organisation that relate humanity to what an anthropologist has called "an order of existence". Different religions may or may not contain various elements, ranging from the "divine", "sacred things", "faith", a "supernatural being or supernatural beings" or "some sort of ultimacy and transcendence that will provide norms and power for the rest of life." - , also known as Shin Buddhism, is a school of Pure Land Buddhism. It was founded by the former Tendai Japanese monk Shinran. Shin Buddhism is considered the most widely practiced branch of Buddhism in Japan, with 20% of the population of Japan identifying as members of the sect. - Dharma ("dharma", ; "dhamma") is a key concept with multiple meanings in the Indian religions Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. There is no single word translation for "dharma" in western languages. - Liturgy, literally "the work of the people", and translated idiomatically as "public service" in secular terms is the customary public worship performed by a religious group, according to its particular beliefs, customs and traditions. Technically speaking, liturgy is a subset of ritual. When ritual is undertaken in order to participate in a divine act or assist a divine action, it is liturgy. If the ritual does not have this purpose it is not liturgy, but only ritual. Thus, the word, sometimes rendered by its English translation "Service or Divine Service", refers to a formal ritual, which may or may not be elaborate, and enacted by those who understand themselves to be participating in a divine action, such as the Eastern Orthodox Divine Liturgy, Catholic Mass, the Eucharist or Mass (Anglican Communion). However, a daily activity such as the Muslim salah and Jewish synagogue services would be ritual, but not liturgy. If the Temple were re-established, the ritual undertaken by the Judaic priesthood within the Temple would be liturgy. - Theravda (Pali, literally "school of the elder monks") is a branch of Buddhism that uses the Buddha's teaching preserved in the Pli Canon as its doctrinal core.

As a distinct sect, Theravada Buddhism developed in Sri Lanka and spread to the rest of Southeast Asia. - Divine Liturgy ( ;) is the Eucharistic service of the Byzantine Rite which is the Rite of the The Great Church of Christ and was developed from the Antiochene Rite of Christian liturgy. As such, it is used in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. Armenian Christians, both of the Armenian Apostolic Church and of the Armenian Catholic Church, use the same term. Some Oriental Orthodox employ the term "holy offering" (Syriac: "qurbana qadisha") for their Eucharistic liturgies instead. The term is sometimes applied also to Roman Rite Eucharistic liturgies, though the term "Mass" is more commonly used there. - The Monshu (), or "keeper of the gate" is a term sometimes used in Japanese Buddhism to denote the head of a monastery, as in the case of Jdo-sh and Tendai Buddhism, but in the case of the Nishi Hongan-ji sub-sect of Jdo Shinsh Buddhism, it refers to the spiritual leader of the sect, and direct descendant of its founder Shinran. - Buddhism has been practiced in Japan since its official introduction in 552 AD according to the "Nihon Shoki" from Baekje, Korea by Buddhist monks.

Buddhism has had a major influence on the development of Japanese society and remains an influential aspect of the culture to this day. - Name. In Japanese, the city has been called Ky, Miyako, or Ky no Miyako. In the 11th century, the city was renamed Kyoto ("capital city"), after the Chinese word for capital city, '. After the city of Edo was renamed Tokyo (meaning "Eastern Capital") in 1868, and the seat of the Emperor was transferred there, Kyoto was known for a short time as Saiky (meaning "Western Capital"). - , also known as Jdo Buddhism, is a branch of Pure Land Buddhism derived from the teachings of the Japanese ex-Tendai monk Hnen.

Shinran was born on May 21, 1173, to Lord and Lady Arinori, a branch of the Fujiwara clan, and was given the name Matsuwakamaro. Early in Shinran's life his parents both died. In 1181 and desperate to know what happens after dying, he entered the Shoren-in temple near present-day Maruyama Park in Kyoto at age 9. He wrote this poem on entering: "Like the cherry blossom, the heart planning on tomorrow is ephemeral indeed --what sudden storm may not arise in the middle of the night". Actually aware of his own impermanence, he was desperate to find a solution. He then practiced at Mt. Hiei for the next 20 years of his life. Letters between his wife and daughter indicate that he was a Tendai . Because of his devotion to the practices of the Lotus Sutra on Mt. Hiei, he became known as "the prodigy of Mt. Hiei". - Pali ("") is a Prakrit language native to the Indian subcontinent. It is widely studied because it is the language of much of the earliest extant literature of Buddhism as collected in the "Pli Canon" or "Tipiaka" and is the sacred language of "Theravda" Buddhism. - A Muslim is someone who follows or practises Islam, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion. Muslims consider the Quran (Koran), their holy book, to be the verbatim word of God as revealed to the Islamic prophet and messenger Muhammad. They also follow the teachings and practices of Muhammad ("sunnah ") as recorded in traditional accounts ("hadith"). "Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits (to God)". - Rennyo ( ) ( 1415 -- 1499 ) was the 8th Monshu , or head - priest , of the Honganji Temple of the Jdo Shinsh sect of Buddhism , and descendant of founder Shinran .

Through Rennyo 's efforts , Jodo Shinshu grew to become the largest , most influential Buddhist sect in Japan . Rennyo is venerated along with Shinran , and liturgical reforms he implemented are still in use today in Jodo Shinshu temples . Further , Rennyo 's letters were compiled and are still recited in Jodo Shinshu liturgy . Rennyo maintained a complex relationship with the Ikk - ikki peasant revolts , which were frequently by Shinshu followers , restraining them at times while also teaching and attending to their religious needs . - A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. Common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings. Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of yearsthe word "tradition" itself derives from the Latin "tradere" or "traderer" literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping. While it is commonly assumed that traditions have ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time. Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways. - Sanskrit (English pronunciation:; written in Devanagari script ; : or ', originally ', "refined speech") is the primary sacred language of Hinduism and "Mahyna" Buddhism, a philosophical language in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
