So we can see that although religions in East Asian
countries are diverse, they also share some similarities
due to common Chinese influence.
• Also, they share a similar interest in shamanistic
practices, in which deities of nature or ancestor spirits
are invoked to maintain harmony in the community
and also for specific divine assistance.
• We will therefore be looking at both the philosophies
of this region, and also the popular religious practices
that have been present and share commonalities with
those philosophies.
