There are stories.
There's old legends and stories, but there's no Bible.
That is why the way.
When people visit the Shinto shrine, people do, it's very plain and simple.
First, you wash your hands to clean yourself.
It's a ritual thing.
Clean yourself.
and then walk up to the prayer.
See, I have a promise with you to say the word is praying because that's a whole another conversation.
But anyway, show the respect, I guess.
You go up to the main building and then you give an offering, usually coins.
You give the offering, the coins, and then you bow twice, clap twice,
And just pray a little bit.
And bow once.
And that's it.
The whole process, it takes just only...
Probably, you know, half a second.
I mean, a half minute.
It's very, very short.
But I think it's a very powerful thing because we are part of the society.
