About Buddhism

1. How is your daily life affected by Buddhism?
What do you do and why do you do it?
I think Buddhism affect our daily life in many situations.
For example, we join our hands in prayer, and we say "ITADAKIMASU" before we eat foods.
Why we join our hands in prayer, and whom do we say "ITADAKIMASU" for?
I think that prayering hands is a pose of grace. It's the manner of India, and it was introduced in Japan from india by buddhism. "ITADAKIMASU" is a grace. When we eat, we think for a god, my parents, and everythings.

2. The article about Islam
The car terrorism with explosives and seven people die and have injured 27 people in Bagdad.
Two cars under the stop when the bomb was set with Islam Shiite district Cagemiya in Iraqi capital Bagdad northern part on the sixth exploded one after another, at least seven people such as passers-by injured according to Associated Press, and the death and 27 people were injured.
As for the same district, this sect resident is overcrowded to surround the sacred ground Cagemiya mausoleum of Shiite (mausoleum), it lives, and the possibility of the crime by the Sunni armed group to which it is hostile with this sect is high.
It is said that Iraqi security experts prevented the explosion beforehand according to Agence France-Presse though another car packed with explosives were discovered in the vicinity of the site.

I feel nagative about Islam, because they often carry out atrocious act of terrorism. I'm afraid of it.

I think "Itadakimasu" is very Buddism like. When I stayed in Englang, My hostfamily didn't say and act like that, of course. It's one of Japanese custom, so we should say it in our heart even if we are abroad!!
