Ke Akua Pu a Hui Hou (God Bless You and See You Later)
Fuji-san leans back in his chair contemplating while the servants begin clearing the tables and the guests leave. He smiles, “You know there are a wise couple of philosophers from this century in the United States with a very Daoist kind of philosophy. Their philosophy is to ‘Be excellent to each other’ and ‘party on dude’ (Herek, 1989). I believe their names are Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan” [ (Herek, 1989) ]. He leans back in his chair and gives a great belly laugh. Soon he is staring off into the distance; the servants have finished cleaning up and have been dismissed. The crowd is long gone and the only sound is the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the shore. “This was a great idea Ganga.” Fuji-san says, “This place reminds me of home; granted my volcano hasn’t been active for 300 years.”
“I love Hawaii,” says Ganga. “I love that it is a combination of all of our cultures.” “It’s your turn to share with us about Shintoism.” Ganga gently reminds him. “Yes.” agrees Huang He, “How does Shintoism play into all of this?”
“Ah, yes, Shintoism is very similar to other Old Religions; no one can really remember where it came from or who started it.” Fuji-san starts, “There were islanders who lived in North Japan and immigrants from the East and South East Asia who came together and found that they had enough similar beliefs that they could combine their religions without much trouble.”
Do you know where the word ‘Shinto’
