Priests

[/size]

Shinto Priests are often shrine keepers and may possess the same, or greater spiritual powers as Miko do. Many Miko seem to be under the tutelage of Shinto Priests. It is difficult to ascertain the powers of Shinto Priests in Inuyasha, as many have not been seen.

Wandering Monks

Wondering monks go around on pilgrimage, travelling the country to exterminate demons and aid people through spiritual guidance.

Temple Monks
Temple Monks are Buddhist preists who are keepers of a temple. Many are quite powerful, using sacred spells to ward of demons.

Warrior Monks
The Warrior Monks of Japan were Buddhist Monks who did not follow the teachings of "causing no harm to sentient beings". They often sold their services to the highest bidder or fought on the side of their own choosing to further their cause and maintain their hold on properties and valuables that had been "donated" to them.[/center]
