History

Answer:

To understand how Ryoan-ji illustrates religious syncretism in Japan, let us first define the term "religious syncretism."

Religious syncretism blends two or more religious belief systems into a new distinct system. It is not the same as multiple religious belonging or polytheism, which is practiced by many, even when they profess one religious belief.

For example, the Ryoan-ji houses the Zen Buddhist temple site. Zen was imported from China in the 12th century CE. In the Ryoan-ji temple, rocks (belief system from Shinto) are carefully laid and the environment encourages contemplation (from Buddhism), without the study of sacred texts, for the purpose of attaining enlightenment.

Explanation:

Shinto is practiced in Japan as the worship of natural things and kami, which represent infinite number of gods. Buddhism is imported into Japan from China. It emphasizes enlightenment through the practice and development of morality, meditation, and wisdom. Buddhists strongly believe that life is both endless and subject to impermanence, suffering, and uncertainty.

En que influyeron la presencia de las islas en la vida de los antiguos griegos?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Grecia es en escencia un conjunto de penínsulas con geografía muy irregular, debido a la enorme cantidad de pequeñas penínsulas, itsmos, y montañas que tiene ésta región. Al mismo tiempo, Grecia se encuentra al frente del Mar Egeo, el cual está lleno de islas, desde algunas que tienen un tamaño considerable como Creta, a otras que son muy pequeñas como Mikonos.

Explanation:

La presencia de islas representó para los antiguos griegos la insularización de su cultura, ésto quiere decir que si bien los griegos se reconocían a sí mismos como parte de un conjunto más o menos cohesionado, al mismo tiempo, convivían con grandes diferencias entre sí precisamente debido a lo irregular de la geografía, a que la comunicación entre islas es más complicada que en un espacio continuo de tierra firme. Éste tipo de geografía promovió entonces la desintegración política, la diversidad cultural, e incluso, la beligerancia entre los diferentes pueblos y ciudades estado griegas de la épica.
