Spiritual Japan

Beth Handelsman
Village Community School

Religion and worship are important parts of a culture. Shinto and Buddhism, often practiced dually by worshippers in Japan, intertwine uniquely to provide fertile grounds for investigating the complex belief systems of Eastern religions. Through this in-depth study of the religious beliefs and practices of the Japanese people, students will gain an understanding of the diversity of faiths represented in the global community. A detailed lesson plan and handouts are provided.
