Koreshan State Park

The Koreshan State Park is beautiful. In 1893, Cyrus Reed Teed founded the community with a group of members in this area. After his death, membership declined. In 1961, the last members donated the property to the state.

      Sometimes I don’t know the difference between religion and cult…🤔🙂

    What a fascinating and beautifully concise historical note! 🌿✨ You’ve captured the essence of Koreshan State Park perfectly — its natural beauty intertwined with a unique chapter of human history. The way you presented both the English and Japanese versions side by side adds such an elegant, educational touch, inviting readers from different backgrounds to appreciate it equally.

    Religion and culture are both distinct in their own right. To understand them, you will need to thoroughly study all religions.

    One can only experience someone’s culture by living there. Their food, clothing, and language reveal a person’s culture.

      In my stereotypical view (as Japanese), cults are negative and religion is positive. The reason is that the words “cult” and “occult” are linked. “Occult” means magical or mysterious. Both words are loanwords from English to Japanese. But the word “cult” is originally from the Latin word “cultus,” which means “worship.”

      By the way, I’m Buddhist. My husband is Christian. My parents are both Buddhists, but believers of different sects. And my grandma was a Shinto believer. 😅

        Follow any religion, but with complete faith. Every religion will bring you closer to yourself. Religion makes us good people.
