Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "kami" refers to spirits or deities in Shinto, and as Buddhism became more integrated into Japanese culture, the Japanese began to see these kami as incarnations of the Buddha. Kami are the spirits or gods of Shintoism, and as the Japanese adapted to the influence of Buddhism, they came to believe that some kami were actually incarnations of the Buddha, thereby integrating the two religions. The other options (A, B, and C) refer to the religious figures in other cultures or belief systems, and are not relevant to the integration of Shinto and Buddhism in Japan.
