Debate, TV doco

edit

"There is some debate on whether or not Kakure Kirishitans still exist" I don't know if there's a debate about their existence still, but this current affairs program interviews some and has a good amount of information which could be included in this article- "Japan - Hidden Christians". The segment itself can be viewed via the media links at the bottom of the page. Often there's a transcipt made available, but I haven't been able to find one for this program. --DrHacky 08:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Terminology problems

edit

The article as it stands mischaracterises Kannon/Gannon/Kanzeon/Avalokiteshvara, who is not a "diety", even less a "goddess". He/she (the figure is androgynous) is a bodhisattva. The error is particularly rancorous when applied to Japanese Buddhists, many of whom practice Zen, many of whose practitioners don't believe that Kanzeon has any objective existence whatsoever; those Buddhists tend to view such old Vedic figures as allegorical devices that embody certain aspects of the Universe, or at best as human-invented "whetstones" for mindful intent. When Kanzeon is called a "goddess" it suggests that Buddhists pray to her and ask her for intercession, as Christians do with their religious personalities. Many do not, and since one of these non-praying denominations is a star player in the drama described here, it's doubly misleading to suggest that the Jesuits in question simply swapped out a local god for one of theirs. What they in fact did was invest entirely new meaning in the statuary in question, as if they decided that from now on all spoons would be secret ikons of the Virgin Mary. (I'll admit that the waters get significantly muddier when you realise that the Virgin Mary is in fact a Western iteration of the ancient Avalokiteshvara figure... but that's a battle for the Virgin Mary article.)
