 |  |  | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Consonant mutation - Japanese
Rendaku (meaning sequential voicing) is a mutation of the initial consonant of a non-initial component in a Japanese compound word. Some compounds exhibiting rendaku:
nigiri + sushi → nigirizushi ("squeeze" + "sushi" → "hand-shaped sushi")
nigori + sake → nigorizake ("muddy" + "rice wine" → "unfiltered sake")
Nigori in "nigorizake" and the daku in "rendaku" are actually different readings (see On-yomi and Kun-yomi) of the same kanji 濁, because voiced and unvoiced consonants ...

 |  |  | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Criminal tattoo - JapaneseExtensive body tattoos ('body suits') are commonly worn by Yakuza members. These traditional tattoos are known as irezumi in Japanese. Their size and elaborate nature show not only the wearers' affiliation, but also his ability to endure pain.
Starting in the Kofun period (300-600 A.D.), tattoos began to assume negative connotations. Instead of being used for ritual or status purposes, tattooed marks began to be placed on criminals as a punishment (this was mirrored in ancient Rome, where slaves were known to have been tattooed with mottos such as "I am ...

Japanese Thought - ShintoismShinto: The Way of Kami in
Japanese Thought
Japanese culture has been influenced
by two spiritual traditions, Shinto or Shintoism and Buddhism. Shinto is
Japan's ancient indigenous religion which evolved over hundreds of years.
When Buddhism took roots in the sixth
century Shinto existed more as a way of life, realised by the people in their
natural surroundings, rather than as an organised religion. Shinto shaped both
the spiritual as well as material aspects of Japanese lifestyle. Japanese
culture, psyche and ethos are so closely intertwined with Shinto that it can be
called the national religion.

Health Dictionary on Aikido
aikido: Spiritual discipline and self-defense method that uses grappling, throws, and nonresistance to debilitate opponents. The name aikido combines three Japanese words: ai (union or harmony), ki (breath, spirit or life force), and do (way). Proponents translate aikido as the way of unifying ki or the way of harmony with the spirit of the universe (or universal energy). Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), a Japanese farmer and master martial artist, founded aikido sometime between 1922 and 1931, after a divine revelation. Ueshiba claimed supernatural power. (His surname is also spelled Oyeshiba and Uyeshiba.) Practitioners may be called aikidoists.

Enlightenment Dictionary on Treatise on the Mind Aspiring for Enlightenment
Treatise on the Mind Aspiring for Enlightenment, The (Jpn.: Bodai-shin-ron; Chin.: P'u-t'i-hsin-lun) A work attributed to Nagarjuna (c. 150-250) and translated into Chinese in the eighth century by Pu-k'ung (Skt Amoghavajra). Another account attributes the work itself to Pu-k'ung. No Sanskrit version is extant. The Treatise on the Mind Aspiring for Enlightenment teaches the important Buddhist concept of aspiration for enlightenment and encourages the development of a mind that seeks Buddhahood. It defines three aspects of a mind that aspires for enlightenment, from the standpoint of Esoteric Buddhism: (1) great compassion to save all living beings, (2) great wisdom to know what sutra is supreme, and (3) meditation. The work also explains various kinds of contemplation put forth in Esoteric Buddhism. Kobo, the founder of the Japanese True Word (Shingon) school, valued this work, and it was widely studied in his school.

Order and Oneness PrincipleNew Global Order and Oneness
Principle
Thirty years ago the historian Arnold
Toynbee and Daisaku Ikeda, head of the Japanese Buddhist Soka Gokkai
International, discussed at length various pertinent issues, trying to discern
the future direction that our world must take if it is to survive these
"times of the end".
Toynbee remarks, "...The question of mankind's
future religion arises because all the current religions have proved
unsatisfactory... A future religion that is to bring into being, and to keep in
being, a new civilisation will have to be one that will enable mankind to
contend with, and to overcome, the evils that are serious present threats to
human survival."

 |  |  | Japanese: History of BuddhismThe history of
Buddhism spans from the 6th century BCE to the present,
starting with the birth of the Buddha Siddharta
Gautama. This makes it one of the oldest religions practiced
today. Throughout this period, the religion evolved as it encountered various
countries and cultures, adding to its original Indian foundation Hellenistic as well as Central Asian, East Asian, and Southeast Asian cultural elements. In the process, its geographical extent became
considerable so as to affect at one time or another most of the Asian
continent. The history of Buddhism is also characterized by the development of numerous
movements and schisms, foremost among them the Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions, punctuated by
contrasting periods of expansion and retreat.

The Buddhist canon of scripture is known in Sanskrit as the Tripitaka and in Pali as the Tipitaka. These terms literally mean "three baskets" and refers to the
three main divisions of the canon, which are:
1. The Vinaya Piaaka, containing disciplinary rules for the Sangha of Buddhist monks and nuns, as well as a range
of other texts which explain why and how rules were instituted, supporting
material, and doctrinal clarification.
2. The Sutta Pitaka (Pali; Sanskrit: Sutra Pitaka), containing discourses
of the Buddha.
3. The Abhidhamma or commentary Pitaka, containing a philosophical systematization of the
Buddha's teaching, including a detailed analysis of Buddhist psychology.
