If you want to see rituals turned into an industrial-scale commercial enterprise, visit the Kawasaki Daishi Temple near Tokyo. They will sell you every kind of prayer, charm or spell for your health and good fortune. They have a series of stone pillars representing every temple in Japan, so you can do a nationwide pilgrimage in 10 minutes. They will write your prayer on a piece of kindling and burn it so your request floats up to the gods as smoke. They will even sell you blessed lottery tickets.
You can stand in front of an altar and pray after throwing money into the donation box. When I was there a priest solemnly told me that large-denomination paper money makes a far louder sound in heaven than mere coins.
This place is total-immersion wall-to-wall ritual. It’s ritual overkill turned into a vast money-making enterprise by men in fancy-dress. It’s the true face of religion exposed for all to see. And the architecture and art are amazing.
