Neutrality

It seems to me that this article is decidedly anti-Shinto and pro-Buddhist. While there is nothing wrong with either of those stances in an individual I don't think they are appropriate in WP. I will put up some examples from the text of the article and a neutrality flag shortly. Colincbn (talk) 01:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Colincbn, far from being debatable, the points of view I describe are commonly accepted and, as you can see, duly referenced with quotes from highly respected authors. Even the Encyclopedia of Shinto, a work written by Kokugakuin University, an entity which trains Shinto priests, essentially agrees with what I write. What is it you find debatable?

About your "citation needed" templates, the first is a non controversial point, but I added a reference. Because I no longer have the document the original sentence came from, so I modified it and used another source as a reference. The second was already referenced, but I quoted more text to make Smyers' comments clearer.

About Buddhism and Shinto today, specialist Sueki Fumihiko describes their relationship as "symbiotic". That Shinto and Buddhism are to this day intertwined to the point of not being understandable separately is a commonly accepted fact, and it's you who should prove the contrary.

I can't believe you find a POV in all this, particularly because I am no friend of Buddhism and this article is, if anything, a condemnation of Buddhism and its role during the shogunate. Read anything you want about the Shinbutsu bunri and it will support what I write in its substance. The Meiji period struggle between the government and Buddhism was a huge, complex and traumatic event, but these are not controversial points.

In any case, before adding a NPOV flag, please discuss the issues. I am willing to make changes to make the article clearer, and intend in any case to expand it. The problem is that this is a very complex issue tied to the nature of Shinto, to Buddhism, to the Meiji restoration and to other issues, and writing about it isn't simple.

Main Picture

The main picture used at the top of the article is clearly a black-and-white photo cut up and superimposed on a colored picture? Any reason for this? Is there not a complete original picture? I'm extremely wary of the usefulness of any edited picture like this because who knows what was removed; if there was something deliberate removed by the editor to change the meaning of the picture. I'm actually wondering if the entire edited picture should be removed?72.89.38.176 (talk) 12:36, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Parallels

There are several parallels. Historical Indian Buddhism originally incorporated yaksha worship, as can be seen from the relics and inscriptions of Bharhut, and Buddhism in Sri lanka and Thailand combine Buddhism and Hinduism. A separation of the two was mandated when the Ambedkarite Buddhism was established. Arya Samaj separates the vedic tradition from the Puranic rituals. In Jainism, the development of Digambar Terapanth was somewhat similar. Tat Khalsa attempted to separate Sikhism from Hinduism. Malaiya (talk) 01:57, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
