>Hijirin still loves you
She doesnt love anyone. I'm pretty sure that was covered somewhere, she acts based on buddhism, but has no emotion behind the things she does. It's more of a habbit than her actual personality.
Look at her sermons, no one really listens to them, so a person who cared would modify their teachings to ensure they are understood. Byakuren doesnt do this becuase them being understood doesnt matter to her, what matters is that she does them.

Byakuren doesnt love anything.
Christian invasion of Gensokyo when? Seiga already mentioned Jesus once, and Christianity was a thing in Japan for some time. I want to see how a monotheistic group would react to Gensokyo. I like to imagine they would just see the gods as lesser gods, not worship them and maybe pray for them to not vanish. It's kinda depressing that Suwako would vanish without faith. Also it would explore the afterlife more, because the buddhist afterlife (which seems to be all there is for gensokyo) is fucking shit. I can either be reborn and suffer forever, or not exist in nirvana, fuck that.

What's the Shinto and Taoist views of the afterlife? Tao te Ching never covered it, and Shinto is a hard religion to look into due to lack of canon. I know they worship ancestors, but thats about it. It's probably assimilated with buddhism.
