I I just stayed here! I came across this video searching"meditation Buddhism Japan" He was my favorite monk and gave me some motivation to try meditation in my daily life! I can't believe he is youtube famous! I wish I had been able to talk with the monks about their lives and having to work as a tour guide/performer while also living genuinely by their faith. Koyasan was a very cool experience and much less "temple amusement park " than I expected. I believe the monks truly believe in their lifestyle and are really good at ignoring tourist gawking as they worship. But it is still an economy fueled by tourism where part of the monks responsibilities include playing tour guide. What I think everyone needs to know is that all the monks are hot. It's not a joke. All are 25-40, perfectly built with flawless skin and a cool, calm, collected attitude.

Being Buddhist I wanted to explain the truth about why we do not use onion or garlic. The above is ment to have sexual enhancement qualities and as Sangha (Buddhist monks and Nuns) this is strickly forbiden. It is simply amazing how the flavours in Buddhist cusine has proven that two very popular ingredients used in most cusines is just not required Imagine from Korea Kim chi For Buddhists this is a no no or is it? Normally garlic and onion is used to enhance the flavour of the Kim chi but I have eaten Kim chi made completely without garlic or onion and the taste is almost the same. This video was not only presanted in a very professional way but gave light to the life of the Sangha and that Vegan food can have lots of umami flavours that proves that eating meat really is not nessasary Namo Shakyamuni Buddha Namo Shakyamuni Buddha Namo Shakyamuni Buddha Sadu Sadu Sadu 🙏🙏🙏

Have been to Koyasan four times. Walking by one temple it made me cry with joy--no explanation why. You can feel the energy walking through the cemetery & visiting the temples. A must when in Japan.

Thanks so much for this video. We visited Koyasan and stayed overnight in Buddhist lodgings. We were inspired by watching this video last year to stay and have to say our favourite meal in the whole of Japan was the Shojin Ryori. It was so tasty and so well presented at the same time. It was the only place we eat Shojin Ryori in Japan, but was totally worth the trip to Koyasan to experience that cuisine as well as the beauty and cultural significance of the area.
