You live in Gensokyo. One day you decided that you want to seek the path to enlightenment.
Would you go to:

A. Hakurei Shrine
B. Moriya Shrine
C. Temple of Myouren
... and why.

Also why would any of them accept you in?

No, the Yama decides everything after you die.

Hell, Heaven, or Reincarnation. The Netherworld is NOT a waiting place, it's a sort of "half-heaven", where you live out your afterlife in merely a relaxed mirror of normal life.

Note that the "Reincarnation" option INCLUDES Enlightenment, as Enlightenment sits at the end of the cycle of Reincarnation.
