How does Ryoan-ji illustrate religious syncretism in Japan?

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.

The war with the Japan has cost the United States much. Even though they were winning the loss of life was huge and the advancement was going poorly. The Japanese fought the US tooth and nail for the smallest part of territory. President Truman thought that the invasion of the main Japanese islands would lead to even greater loses and thus authorized the use of nuclear weapons.

The Great Depression hit the United States hard. Both the public and the banks were in much trouble. People feared for their money and they rushed to withdraw their moneys from the banks which they feared would close and as a result people would lose their money. This move was damaging for the economy as the more people withdrew their money the more damage was being caused. In order to restore the faith in the banking system, Roosevelt proclaimed a banking holiday and thus prevented further bankruptcy of the banks and restored peoples faith in them as people, after the holiday, deposited most of the money back.

After the World War II, the world was divided between two opposite philosophies and government systems, the democratic system and the communist system.

That is what Churchill called the Iron Curtain and the loss of freedom in those countries.

5.The correct answer here is D.
The countries in the Eastern Europe were under the Iron Curtain, which i mentioned above, and their governments were not independent but were controlled indirectly by the Soviet Union. There were called the puppet government because the Soviet Union was pulling their strings.
