warrior monk japanese art culture and the yamabushi benkei and the loyal warrior monk lee jay walker modern tokyo times in japanese culture history and art it is clear that saito no musashibo benkei left a lasting impression and this continues today in modern culture this legendary warrior monk belonged to the intriguing period of the 12th century he was born in 1155 and died in 1189 after serving the famous minamoto no yoshitsune the images in this article come from the esteemed toshidama toshidama gallery whereby you can feel the power of benkei and visually understand how he was portrayed in japanese art benkei is famous within the folklore of japan because of his enormous strength which was matched by great loyalty in the realm of japanese art and the majestic ukiyo e movement then benkei provides a wealth of images by many famous artists it is noted that he was extremely tall because by the age of seventeen benkei had reached two meters in height this is still very tall by the standard of today on top of this was many other great attributes which belong to his fighting skills and the knowledge he obtained during his travels to many buddhist monasteries of course within japanese folklore and the mysteries of history and shintoism then many intriguing stories evolve around benkei he firmly belongs to the power and prestige of buddhism and the warrior class that emerged during this period of japanese history however just like judaism christianity and islam have all been influenced by the pagan culture where they developed this similarly happened to benkei because the power of shintoism was fused within many elements of japanese buddhism and folklore therefore these intriguing stories about benkei clearly have survived the test of time because he remains a potent figure today in modern japan much depends on the benkei which appeals to the storyteller but within japanese art and the tradition of ukiyo e it is clear that the term oniwaka is merged within the nature of this famous warrior monk oniwaka means the demon or ogre child of course many other fascinating stories evolve around benkei including his deeds on the battlefield for example it is stated that he defeated at least 200 military men during major battles throughout his life this of course may be exaggerated or it may not yet the point is that his fame within the warrior class appealed greatly when judged with his great physical strength and the loyalty that bestowed him throughout his lifetime it is also reported that benkei in time became a yamabushi mountain warrior monk and for this reason he is often depicted in a cap this fits in well with the yamabushi who had many fine qualities after all the yamabushi were not only mighty warriors who were blessed with respective supernatural powers equally important was the ascetic nature of the yamabushi and the exemplary knowledge they held related to the shugendo doctrine the shugendo doctrine evolved around the fusions and integration of many powerful thought patterns this applies to the school of shingon buddhism and the esoteric nature of this faith the rich heritage of shinto the tendai buddhist faith and the great philosophy of taoism therefore the yamabushi were not just mysterious holy men who had mighty powers in the area of military strength but equally powerful was the knowledge that each individual had obtained in this world and how they utilized this with the mystery of nature his loyalty remains famous today and the toshidama gallery sums up benkei extremely well when it comes to the loyalty of this esteemed individual toshidama states that he was raised by monks who were both religious and military as a young man he positioned himself at one end of gojo bridge and disarmed travelers of their swords on reaching his 999th sword he fought with a young nobleman minamoto no yoshitsune who won the battle of the bridge and thereafter benkei served as his principal retainer they fought in the gempei wars between the taira clan and their own minamoto clan if you are intrigued about benkei then this article is providing just a snippet of the importance

christian church bombed in northern nigeria walter sebastian and lee jay walker modern tokyo times islamists once more have killed innocents during the religious period of eid al adha including a bomb attack which killed several children near a play area in the capital of iraq in afghanistan worshippers were killed while praying inside a mosque and in syria several terrorist attacks have taken place meanwhile in northern nigeria a christian church was hit by a bomb attack therefore religious zealots within the sunni islamic faith have been going on a killing spree like usual during this holy period for muslims the iraqi authorities clearly understand the mindset of islamists because security was tightened however despite greater precautions it is abundantly clear that little can be done to stop determined terrorists from spreading death hatred and sectarianism even laying bombs near a school playground during eid doesn t concern sunni islamist fanatics who are being indoctrinated by islamist clerics sadr city in baghdad is overwhelmingly shia and the double bomb attacks left at least 13 people dead whereas the attack in the bawiya area of the same city killed seven people including the lives of three children who just wanted to play the death toll may increase further but clearly muslims and non muslims can t even rest in peace during holy periods this is because of the hatred of islamists who lack any notion of morality in northern nigeria the same islamists which seek power and control by fear hatred violence and spreading sectarianism have once more attacked a christian church sometimes the same islamists attack muslims for desiring peace with their fellow nigerians therefore just like in syria nobody feels protected in certain parts of northern nigeria from religious zealots which seek to spread chaos sectarianism and fear the same menace is now turning against sufi strands of islam in northern mali and libya just like hatred is widespread towards the shia ahmadiyya muslims christians hindus and others in pakistan it must be remembered that some islamist clerics are demanding the slaughter of alawites and the shia in syria christians are also attacked by the same religious fanatics who recite the koran while beheading people and torturing in unbelievable cruelty mainstream sunni muslims face the same wrath in syria if they support a united syria based on the mosaic of this nation the grand mufti of saudi arabia sheikh abdul aziz bin abdullah referred to the need that all churches in the arabian peninsula must be destroyed similarly the same nation is exporting hatred within the educational curriculum and for this reason monitoring is essential therefore it is clear that something is wrong within certain branches of islam which seek to rule by fear after all they have no qualms in killing muslims and non muslims alike in order to fulfill their hatred and spread sectarianism currently it is known that seven people have been killed by a suicide bomber against a christian church in kaduna northern nigeria christians in this church just like muslims in the mosque in afghanistan were praying to the god of abraham however for islamists you have no sanctity to either life or holy places therefore both holy places were attacked during eid several months earlier in june over 50 people were killed in the same part of northern nigeria after three christian churches were attacked this reality meant that security officials in northern nigeria just like in iraq knew that during eid that islamists would try to ferment more hatred the desire of islamists is to spread fear in the hearts of all people irrespective if muslim or non muslim in order to rule by fear likewise the other objective is to spread sectarianism therefore shia muslims are frequently killed and attacked in several nations baseem mohammed in bawiya baghdad told ap news that nobody expected this explosion because our neighborhood has been living in peace away from the violence hitting the rest of the capital we feel sad for the children who thought that they would spend a happy time during eid but instead ended up getting killed or hurt the shabaks in iraq were also killed in mosul in the northern part of this country this minority fully understands religious hatred because many attacks have happened against the shabaks after the us led invasion of iraq other attacks by sunni islamists in iraq have also killed shia muslims from iran who were on a religious pilgrimage during eid this reality means that mosques churches pilgrims children and so on are not free from islamist hatred even during holy muslim periods like eid and ramadan leejay moderntokyotimes com http moderntokyotimes com posted in africa

islamic zealots sunni islamist killers tokyo news and terrorism walter sebastian and lee jay walker leave a comment 06 nov 2012 suicide bomber kills many in afghanistan to mark the start of eid syria faces the duality of terrorism suicide bomber kills many in afghanistan to mark the start of eid syria faces the duality of terrorism omar abdullah ismail and lee jay walker modern tokyo times islamists often go on a killing spree during ramadan in several nations and likewise the mark of eid al adha in afghanistan met the same fate it is reported that more than 40 people have been killed by a brutal islamist terrorist attack against muslim worshippers therefore once more the islamist clerics and various terrorist networks have shown the world that their hatred is beyond any logic muslim worshippers prayed to the god of abraham during the start of eid al adha yet while these innocent individuals were concentrating on god the forces of evil had other ideas because a planned attack took away many lives this senseless violence highlights not only the bankruptcy of radical sunni islamism which is killing with abandon in afghanistan mali northern nigeria pakistan somalia syria and other parts of the world it highlights utter hypocrisy on the side of islamists recently many demonstrations took place against a minor film of no importance which was manipulated by islamist clerics yet how many korans were destroyed in this attack and countless other terrorist attacks against mosques in afghanistan iraq pakistan syria and northern nigeria does the sanctity of islam only count when non muslims can be blamed after all in libya northern mali and somalia many sufi shrines have been destroyed but where was the outcry against this in the muslim world outside of the september 11 attacks which mainly killed non muslims in america the vast majority of sunni islamist terrorist attacks have killed mainly muslims often shia muslims are the main victims of many sunni islamist terrorist attacks in countries like iraq and pakistan when it comes to syria then alawites and the shia are targeted based on sectarianism and mainstream sunni muslims are also killed for being loyal to the government of syria however irrespective of the muslim branch it is clear that muslims are the main victims of terrorism therefore what is the point to this endless cycle of violence in the past too many nations like america the united kingdom saudi arabia qatar turkey kuwait france pakistan and other nations have tried to manipulate terrorists for personal geopolitical gains recently the usual culprits are now involved in destabilizing syria by enabling many funding channels to support islamist terrorist organizations until an international system starts naming and shaming these nations organizations and whereby implications for this barbarity will be enacted then too many lose ends will continue to exist therefore currently you have an enormous duality this applies to state funded and covert funded terrorism which is ongoing against syria to private organizations islamist charities and so forth which are funding terrorism outside of nation states in the case of syria both terrorist networks are working hand in hand if the international community continues to condemn terrorism like what happened in afghanistan today and the recent terrori...
