Religion may be defined as a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. The reason for this may be as simple as “I grew up with this, therefore I am comfortable with it” to as complex as “I have done the research, the soul searching, as well as the thought and behavioral modifications this religion requires of its adherents and I feel that it is the truth.”īut what is a religion? Let’s use the following definition: Many of us are indoctrinated into a religion or belief system from an early age and unless we take the time to sit down and question what we believe or have an opportunity to take a “comparative religions” class, we stick with that selfsame beliefs. Part of the experience is feeling the sound coming through the carpet.)įor the most part, religions and belief systems are things we experience as a mostly passive participant in their development in our daily lives. Participants are encouraged to walk without shoes on a prayer rug where they are praying to get close to speakers to hear individual prayers. The prayers are often in many are in languages besides English. These prayers, which are spoken normally, chanted, or sung, are unaccompanied by music. The program is set up so that it randomizes the prayers that are played simultaneously, so that no groups of visitors will ever receive the same experience. The prayers are various lengths anywhere from 2 minutes to over twenty, and when one prayer ends, another begins. Shameless Plug: Presently, through December 31 st, 2018 there’s a special exhibit there called “ James Webb Prayer” where over 200 belief systems are heard praying, for 9.5 hours of constant prayers.
