An afterlife concept is one of the primary characteristics of Western and Indian religions as it provides many of the principles to guide their religious thoughts, beliefs, and practices about how to live in this world. However, East Asian religions tend to downplay the importance of an afterlife concept related to living in this world. For this topic, explore what Daoism, Confucianism, or Shinto says about the afterlife, noting how it fits into their overall beliefs. Proceed with these steps:
Title your initial thread with the one (1) religion you are focusing on (Daoism, Confucianism, or Shinto). If you desire, you can also add to that in a way that reflects the content of your post, but this is not required (An example of this would be, “Daoism: Look for the Way here, not there”). If you do add something, remember to be respectful.
Present what is said about the afterlife by only one (1) of the following religions: Daoism, Confucianism, or Shinto.
Note how these views are a reflection of the religion’s overall beliefs and practices.
Finally, speculate as to why it is not necessarily important for these religions to emphasize an afterlife concept to be successful with their overall message.
