Japanese
Etymology
From 宗 (shū, “sect”) + 教 (kyō, “doctrine, teaching”).
From two of the five Buddhist principles for interpreting sutras: 五重玄義 (literally “five-fold black reading”), namely 名 (myō, “name; title”), 体 (tai, “form”), 宗 (shū, “sect”), 用 (yū, “use”) and 教 (kyō, “teaching”). The literal interpretation is ambiguous, either 宗と教 (literally “sect and teaching”) or 宗の教 (literally “sectarian teaching”). Used as a translation of the western Christocentric concept of English religion in response to Western encroachment as well as in efforts to modernize Japan. Earlier alternative translations included 宗法 (shūhō), 宗旨 (shūshi) and 法教 (hōkyō).
