We say "Itadakimasu" before when we eat food.
We raises a tomb for the dying person.
We go to the temple and it visits.
We eat with chopsticks.
We decorate the buddhist altar with the offering and the flower.
I think, the Buddhism is deeply related in our life. However, the Christianity and so on mixed during year in the event, too.
Hello. Your ideas are very simple, but it is very proper. Are chopstics the culture of Japan??? I don't know about that becuase Korean use chopsticks when eating food. In addition, I think that going to the temple is the same culture America and England etc. I'm sorry I do don'tknow about Buddhism so much, but I worry about it.

In America and England, there is not Buddhism, but people offer flowers on the tomb.
