However, since Konkokyo is not dogmatic; interpretations and understandings in regard to connection to Shinto varies between individuals and regions. However historically and within its nature, as well as rituals and ceremonies, Konkokyo is deeply connected to Shinto practices. Since Jinja Shinto is the more common organization of Shinto way in Japan, it is thought Konkokyo is different than Shinto. But it is more accurate to say it only differs from Jinja Shinto, but it is still Shinto roots. The only few main differences between Jinja Shinto and Konkokyo are: Toritsugi Mediation, which is a practice unique to Konkokyo. Not offering items commonly seen in Jinja Shinto shrines; such as ofuda or omamori, due to the teaching from Tenchi Kane no Kami that Konkokyo churches shouldn't be a place that people feel pressured to donate to receive protection from omamori, or need to donate for an ofuda to call to the power of Tenchi Kane no Kami. In addition, if one has the financial ability and wishes to receive the items, it is taught that it is good to support the other kamis and Buddha's shrines or temples instead. This is also why Konkokyo does not have set ritual fees, nor requires donations from visitors or parishioners. Konkōkyō has also centralized the Tenchi Kakitsuke [Universal Reminder] as its main focus on the altar and in prayers. Some churches only have a Tenchi Kakitsuke, while others have additional traditional items seen in Shinto shrines, such as sacred mirrors, or gohei, to indicate the presence of the deity. Another difference is, while some Konkokyo followers are able to and may revere other Kami, such as Amaterasu Omikami, who is the required most revered deity in Jinja Shinto teachings, Konkokyo places a focus on Tenchi Kane no Kami, and to have an equal respect for all deities, not placing importance on one kami or the other; since they are all part of the universe and should all be equally respected. The faith also differs in that it does not believe in taboos including beliefs related to unlucky days, unlucky years (age), and ominous directions. There are no distinctions between pure and impure things or sacred and non-sacred places. There is the concept of places where there is more amount of spiritual power, but the amount of spiritual power is not seen as determining its sacredness, as all is within the universe/nature which is
