Astonishing, marvellous, beautiful and peaceful. - Rated I was looking for a book about Shinto. Now, I think I was lucky enough to find this handy, complete, and easy to read explanation about Shinto, written by a 79th generation Grand Master of Shinto! I also found surprisingly, that the reading of this book was a relaxing one, with a sense of beauty and peace. You will discover that Shinto "has no founder, no doctrines, no precepts or commandments, no idols and no organization", which is something quite astonishing for someone like me, who has been educated in the catholic religion! The book consist of 8 chapters: 1. Shinto for the New Millennium. 2. What is Shinto? 3. What is Jinja? 4. The idea of Misogi (Purification) 5. The idea of Harai 6. Koshinto: Theory of one spirit, four souls 7. Koshinto: view of the "Other World" 8. The systematic training method of chinkon No doubt,this is a reference book for anyone insterested in Shinto.
