joudo is exists in the mountain familiar of ours


I wrote "Joudo is Pure Land".
Or I wrote "Joudo is like a Heaven"
On this occasion I write "Joudo is Paradise".
 
Is not consistent completely. (lol)

I write Joudo is like a Heaven for Japanese people.
Please think so roughly.

Of course the concept of Heaven in the East and West may be different. 
(Christianity and Buddhism.) 
 
However Buddhism in Japan might affected of ancient Greek philosophy.
(It brought by Kukai.)

Conversely,the concept of Heaven in the Western might affected of India Buddhism Joudo.
For example there was Alexander's eastern expedition.

・・・・・・・・・
 
By the way civilization in China was already in ancient japanese era.
Around the 2th century,there were exchanges already between the two area's person.
Therefore there was affect of Taoism of China to the ancient Japanese thought.

About the same time, Buddhism was introduced to China.
However Buddhism was introduced officially to Japan at the beginning of the 6th century.

・・・・・・・・・

Going back to. 

"Paradise, which is in the land of endlessly far west."
India buddhism thought so about Joudo originally.

”Mountain is dead soul climb place to heaven.”
"And where God has come down there."

Ancient Japanese thought so about mountain originally.
After Buddhism introduction,these two thoughts was linked and transformation by the japanese.
 
”Joudo is exists in the mountain familiar of ours.” 
 
Maybe around the beginning of the 11th century,Japanese were allowed to establish the thought that.
