Shinto, what is it really???

I know Shinto is a religion widely practiced in Japan, but what are its basic teachings???

Go to Wikipedia.com and type in "Shinto" on the search bar. It'll tell you the main teachers to basic teachings, to the year it first started to appear.

no was the first word that the great Japanese Buddha man spoke to the shutters, from that day on, they were then known as Shinto.

I think it is similar to Buddhism. Try WNW.beliefnet.org to find out more. (It may be WNW.beliefnet.com)
