The Norito includes the following principles:
* Purity: Shinto practitioners strive to maintain physical and spiritual purity. This includes avoiding contact with things that are considered impure, such as death and disease.
* Respect: Shinto practitioners show respect for all things in nature, including humans, animals, and plants. They also show respect for the kami (spirits) and for their ancestors.
* Gratitude: Shinto practitioners are grateful for the blessings they receive from the kami. They express their gratitude through prayer and offerings.
* Honesty: Shinto practitioners are honest in their dealings with others. They do not lie, cheat, or steal.
* Compassion: Shinto practitioners are compassionate towards others. They help those in need and forgive those who have wronged them.
* Harmony: Shinto practitioners strive to live in harmony with nature and with each other. They avoid conflict and seek to resolve disputes peacefully.
The Norito is not a rigid set of rules. It is a set of principles that can be interpreted and applied in different ways by different people. The most important thing is that Shinto practitioners strive to live in accordance with the spirit of the Norito.
