Forward Together

You see, Buddhist priests of this temple sheltered hidden Christians during Japan's two and a half centuries of suppression:

And centuries later, when the Buddhist temple was falling into disrepair, who contributed a substantial sum of money to its rebuilding? 

 

And this Catholic church on the Gotō Islands of Nagasaki, which was one of the first to be built when the ban on Christianity was ended, who is the one to visit over twenty times a month to take care of it? 

 

A Christian - a Catholic? Nope. A Buddhist.

You see?

Fratelli Tutti.
