The difference of the sect is not understood though it belongs to the sect that has inherited it from generation to generation.
Most people do not understand Buddha's teaching.

And, I who is explaining am an irreligion. :)

We have a Kamidana in our house. It's great to see people interested in it, not many American homes have one.
