Buddhism spread from India to China , Korea, and Japan . Former Buddhism reached Japan in different ways and many Japanese people at that time , disliking Buddhism ideas and believing that this new religion might be an affront to the traditional kami or spirits and gods, opposed Buddhism’s ideas. Really Japan has two major religions, Shinto and Buddhism . Most Japanese accept themselves as Buddhist, Shintoist, or Both. Religion does not play a big role in the everyday life of most Japanese people today |
