conclusive evidence


From the time of the dynasty of more than a thousand years ago,there was no distinction between Buddha and Japanese God in Japan.

The two had been faith as one for a long time.

But after the Meiji Restoration,this two had been separated.
Japanese god called"shinto", had became only state religion.
And Buddhism had been crackdown.
 
・・・・・・・・・ 

In the Shinto,mountain is important as a place of faith.
But originally there was also a famous temple of Buddhism there.
Those had been erased at this time.
And lost a large amount of cultural heritage as Buddha statue and Buddhist painting.

”That was a national folly.”
Author of a book that I've read said so.
 
For example part of "blessing of the sun temple" was independent as Bandai shrine.
And the temple itself was abolished. (Revival in different locations on half a century after) 
Thereby,such the mountain has been the subject of worship of only Shinto from a long time ago.
Have given such illusion to the current people.
 
・・・・・・・・・ 
 
Joudo-daira was a place of mountain worship.

I don't know that.
Because there is no conclusive that evidence.

Well,once again here.

In the Shinto (japanese god),mountain is important as a place of faith.
Originally there was also a famous temple of Buddhism there.
Because the two had been faith as one for a long time.
But those temple had been erased at this time.
And lost a large amount of cultural heritage as Buddha statue and Buddhist painting.

”That was a national folly.”
Author of a book that I've read said so. 

・・・・・・・・・ 
 
bandai mountain (place of worship in the Shinto)
joudo-daira (in Buddhism like heaven)
issai-kyou (meaning Complete Buddhist scriptures)
hourai mountain (maybe in Taoism like heaven)
