Shinto Reflection

February 14, 2016 by MJIsola Leave a Comment

“The heart of the person before you is a mirror. See there your own form”–Munetada Kurozumi

Chris 73, cc-by-sa 3.0 license.

With this well-known quote, Kurozumi invokes the powerful symbol of the mirror within Shinto. This offers a reflective image for thinking ethically.

This mirrors, so it goes, an imperative for getting at the “right relation of self to other” I have often found productive as a prompt in the classroom. This impulse toward seeing self while considering how the self sees is an appealing characteristic of Shinto.
