World Religion

 I do greetings everyday. They are "Ohayo", "Konnichiwa", "Konbanwa", and so on. In Japan, when we do greeting to people, we alomost only word. As the other countries, we don't touch people when we talk to them. Japanese are very shy, so we can't do it. Greetings are different by each countries. This is culture. Then,Greetings are very important when we take the communication with each other. So, I think that we have to keep them.

Buddhism

I have never thought about Buddhism. However, after the lecture, I thought about it. Then, I noticed that my daily life affected by it.

First, it is a household Buddhist altar. When I go to my grandparents or relatives house, I always pray over it.

Next, it is meals. when we eat meals, we always says "Itadakimasu" with join our hands. I think that this is also Buddhism.

In this way, I found that we are affected by Buddhism everyday.
