Love your work mate, keep it up

I want to thank you both for the video & information 👊🏻

another excellent video keep it coming

Great video! 🤘🏼 Keep them coming! 🥷🏻

this is so awesome. thank you guys

More videos and books like this please 🙏 Been trying to get information on ninja rituals and magick for many years, thank you for your hard work 🙏

Nice heavy gale sweater

Great video!

My teacher. "Shinto" "Shinto" "SHINTO".

Cataloging culture before it vanishes is noble work. Surprising to see Celtic links within Ninja and Samurai culture.

That’s why Oda Nabunaga hates Christmas and the military monks of mt. Hie (?) and the yamabushi of any surrounding temples. They burned the temples and monks to the ground. The survivors I love them.. it’s because of scholars like you and your entire crew and also my love of Budo, that this entire thing is just awesome. An excellent guest that you have been very knowledgeable. I love this.

I think the very nature of the human has always begged, borrowed, and stolen things from many different things around the globe, this is what i find fascinating about Japanese culture. Japan is very good at excepting another idea or culture and making it a very Japanese thing or way.

This is excellent I am on board shingon Zen is an important aspect of meditation, buddishm, shinto is very interesting

Good info, love the way yall break it down. I really like the deep dive in to past cultures and religions. Personally I'm a pagan of the indo-european type. I can see some of the similarities to the samurai, and for sure the Indian influence. Love how they live by a code of honor, something missing today. Also love how you touch into the magic, and type of magic that was used. Keep up the great work!

I'm planning on saving as much as I can to try to get to Michigan in November and it's looking optimistic right now

What about Shugendo and Shingon Buddhism? As I understand Shinobi were associated with esoteric Buddhism, and the rigorous pilgrimages of the yamabushi shugenja factored greatly into the endurance aspects of their training. Furthermore the kuji rituals are referenced in Shugendo.

Hello! I have seen your spell of exorcise "Rin, Byo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen" used against Choronzon, the "snake of the Abyss" in the ' Bible Black ' final episode . Please tell us more about it, or about other spells and rituals.

All ancient religions believed in reincarnation. Even earlier Christianity did. Zen is basically Chan Buddhism from China. Bodhi Dharma was the one that brought that style of Buddhism to China. The Shaolin temple was the first Buddhist monastery. The two great vehicles of Buddhism, have been adopted all over the world. There is no dought that the Shinobi practiced Zen. The high power of concentration is totally attainable using Zen Buddhism techniques. Im sure they practiced some form of it.

Just bought the hard cover death cult book. Thank you for dropping the price as far as you could... I think that should be the book to go viral.

I think a better place to start is that our western idea of religion doesnt appear in the east. The lines are a lot more blurry.

2:56 Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka in the 3rd century BCE by the missionary Mahinda, who was the son of the Indian Emperor Ashoka. On the other hand, Buddhism was introduced to Tibet in the 7th century CE, several centuries after it had already been established in Sri Lanka and other regions. Theravada Buddhism is the oldest surviving branch of Buddhism and is prevalent in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. Not the other way around.

I agree wholeheartedly that the interest in the Samurai, and the Ninja is waining. It was not like it was in the 1980s. As someone trying to run a martial arts school teaching these arts, I have seen a huge downturn in students. Yet is it is a shame as people are missing so much. Unfortunately the modern organisations such as the Bujinkan have not helped at all.

Anthony, the word you were looking for is Proto Indo European, and you see the same themes in everything from Norse religions to Hindu religions.

Zen Soto Meditation (Meditation Facing Wall) Rinzai Koans (Meditation Facing the Room) Zen Soto Dogen (Former Tendai Monk) Meditation (Echizen) (Movie Zen 2009) Zen Rinzai Master Takuan Soho (1573-1645) Unfettered Mind (For Yagyu Munenori rival of Musashi) Zen Rinzai Hakuin Ekaku (Song of Zazen) Influence In The Arts

Great video Anthony, a question for you, i dont personally like black magic, but i do like budhism. Do you think black magic is a must? And what is your personal opinion on black magic ?

My instructor in Kung Fu San Soo, Weston Vermillion, here in Olympia, WA...U.S.A. suggested that much of this Warrior religion/spirituality/ethos originates with the Spartan culture. Of course, there is much talk of a pre-existing advanced globe spanning civilization before a massive cataclysm, many of these practices may have originated from there.

Does Steven Nojiri have a new youtube channel?

Weren't many ninja buddist monks?

I could talk about religion in historical Japan for days but I'll keep my comment largely focussed on this one point. In the Tale of the Heike 平家物語, the premier samurai epic, they have a clear favoritism for Pure Land Buddhism with a secondary emphasis on "Shinto." However, shinobi were much later in history than the Tale of the Heike, and slightly earlier than Zen's big break in Japan. Also, I've already translated several very interesting stories about Onmyoji from the Heian Period that might be of interest. I was particularly surprised at how much the magic they used was concealment and invisibility.

Hmm i do like samurai/shinobi no mono but im pretty much a hard atheist. I was into tao in my teens. But all this magic and spirituallity is the one thing that stops me to be to serious about it.

3 reasons I'm starting to dislike A.Cummings. He's a handsome man. He's books are solid, dare I say boring as it's only us hard core infomaniacs that read ancient manuals. His dog is super cute. As a martial artist, I've met few real people that get stuck right in and keep arts basic, this channel and the books are special. 👍👍👍👍👍

I’m looking for a teacher in Buffalo, NY… if anyone can help me. I desire to pursue this

After Animism the first religious belief that worshipped a male sky god is traced back to Indo-Europe (Ukraine) and they travelled in various directions setting in India, Scandinavia, Greece, Germany and basically all over Europe. Every religion comes from this including Hinduism, Greek mythology, norse, all pagan, and Christianity.

This is too Basic though.. wish you do real advanced stuff later Aswell. 22:00 AKBAN are probably Judaism 😅 prob wouldn’t like to do non Judaism stuff

That's crazy that samurai martial arts are dying when you consider that jujitsu( that everyone loves today) is a samurai art from koryu schools

Nojiri looks clinically depressed. Hard to watch.

This is an enlightening read on this topic : David A. Hall, The Buddhist Goddess Marishiten: A Study of the Evolution and Impact of Her Cult on the Japanese Warrior Sections of Enpi Scroll from Yagyu shrinkage ryu play out situations in the diagrammatic representations, also in TSKSR. Ie sasagakure of yotsu-no-tachi

"Etc, etc, etc...." 😊 new natori drinking game watch this video and every time ya hear "etc " ya take a swig of sake 😂

god damn that animal cruelty stuff is horrific what was all that in aid of?

Shinto is Animism!

Why would akban take his students to a Buddhist shrine when he’s Israeli and most likely Jewish or Hebrew. You already established that there was a high probability that some ninja were practicing Christians meaning that there’s no specific religion that is practiced by all ninja. All ninja schools did not practice the same skills. Why they all follow the same religious beliefs. It’s fine to know the history but you can’t expect people to start doing rituals that they don’t believe in. Just saying.
