"To most japanese, especially those who lived through the trauma of the war, there is nothing overtly suspicious about such a public commemoration of "tradition". But to writers like Takeda Kiyoko (1989:11), a long-time observer of the Imperial Family, the complacent and uncritical acceptance of such a • highly-selective and highly-fashioned tradition - "in the depths of which lurk elements of absolutism, exclusivism, and authoritarianism" - leads back to a "sterile and unproductive past that is not only harmful but dangerous as well." Shinto rituals have always been used to sacralize political power in Japan and, to the extent that they continue to serve these ends for a variety of groups and institutions, need analysis from without as well as within the shrine community. It should not be surprising that the leaders of Japanese society, like leaders in other societies worldwide, see necessary a periodic rendez-vous with what they consider fundamental principles. But it should give pause to the average Japanese to consider just how many of the symbols, ceremonies, and concepts of their friendly neighborhood shrine are again being subdy coopted for nationalistic ends. If, as has happened so often injapan's long history, personal liberty, legal rights, and the degree of access people have to social institutions come to be seen as "threats" by a small but powerful elite, let us hope the lessons of more recent history "discipline" any and all forms of resurgent nationalism and the "chaos" it will inevitably leave in its wake."

Only one and a half human beings have been slain here by thee, O lord of men. The one had come unto the (three) refuges, the other had taken on himself the five precepts Unbelievers and men of evil life were the rest, not more to be esteemed than beasts. But as for thee, thou wilt bring glory to the doctrine of the Buddha in manifold ways; therefore cast away care from thy heart, O ruler of men!”

""The campaign against Elara is described at some length in the Mahavamsa, and it is clear that Dutthagamini does not move against Elara because the Tamil king was unjust, cruel, or tyrannical. The Mahavamsa points out that Elara was a good ruler, and, when he is killed, Dutthagamini has him cremated honorably, and erects a monument in his memory. In constructing the "Dutthagamini epic" as he does, Mahanama wants to make clear that the heroic task in hand is not the defeat of injustice but the restoration of Buddhism. The overthrow of the Tamil king is required first and foremost because Sri Lanka cannot be united unless the monarch is Buddhist. [...] The main point is the honor Dutthagamini brings "to the doctrine of the Buddha," and this greater good justifies the violence required to bring it about. [...] Mahanama's [author of the Mahavamsa] lesson for monarchs remains consistent: be as strong as you need to be to maintain the Buddhist state; be supportive of the Sangha and willing to defeat the enemy by force.""
