Book excerpt: Shinto: A Celebration of Life, introduces a gentle but powerful and enduring spiritual pathway reconnecting humanity with 'great nature' and affirming all aspects of life. Structured around ritual cleansing, Shinto contains no concept of sin. It reveres ancestors, but thinks little about the afterlife, asking us to live in--and improve--the present. Shinto is an unbroken indigenous path that now reaches beyond its native Japan. It has special relevance to us as we seek a more balanced and fulfilled way of life.
