Abstract

The relationship between Gods and Buddhas is the key to a comprehensive understanding of Japanese religious history. By considering the phenomenon of God-Buddhist co-practice from the perspectives of “mutual recognition of different bodies” and “mutual construction of the same body,” the local evolutionary process of Japanese Buddhism can be systematically sorted out and analyzed, and the important role of civilizational exchange and mutual appreciation in the development of civilization or culture can be revealed.
