	Aum Shinrikyo
		The doctrines of Aum Shinrikyo shifted considerably during the lifetime of the movement.
		The founder of Aum Shinrikyo, Asahara Shoko became interested in religion in the late 1970's while he was practising as an acupuncturist.
		Aum Shinrikyo during its formative phase deployed an array of exotic (for Japan) symbolic forms mostly of Indian provenance, designed to emphasise Asahara's guru status.

	Aum Shinrikyo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asahara himself referred to Aum's doctrine as 'truth', arguing that 'while various Buddhist and yogic schools lead to the same goal by different routes, the goal remains the same' and insisting that the major world's religions are closely related.
		Aum's activities aimed at the popularization of Buddhist texts were also noted by the governments of Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Tibetan government-in-exile located in Dharamsala, India.

		AUM Shinrikyo (オウム真理教, literally, "AUM the True Teaching") is the former name of a controversial religious group based in Japan.

	AUM SHINRIKYO

	Aum Shinrikyo
		Aum changed its name to Aleph in early 2000, but in the minds of many Japanese this was simply a cosmetic attempt to cover up the fact that Aum followers remain fanatics besotted by a megalomaniacal and destructive guru.
		Holding that the recent actions were no different from previous ones committed by Aum members, the paper went on to argue that the main problem was their continuing connection to the incarcerated guru and his dangerous doctrines.
		The Aum story has, in sum, posed a dilemma for the media that reflects a broader challenge for Japanese society as a whole: how to deal effectively with a religious group still defined by its violent acts without sacrificing constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties to the encroachments of an aggressive state security apparatus.
