Fascinating! What a wonderful tradition for Fudo Myoo. And very special for you to walk through the “fire”. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🌺

Exhilarating!! What a wonderful display of deep tradition. Fudo myo may be my favorite Dharma protector. Every 28th we chant: “noomaku sanmanda bazaradan senda makaroshada sowataya un tarata kanman” Thank you so much for sharing! Gassho! 🔥

Oh Fudomyoo is your guardian deity. It was really huge fire of him at the festival.

The Yamabushi 山伏 are always very impressive in what they do by learning from nature by immersing in it. Nothing feels more natural to me to join them getting spiritual closer to nature. I visited them at mount haguru at 出羽三山. I was in 2018 lucky enough to be able to go into the pagoda. I hiked up mount haguro in dressed in white after i asked the yamabushi in the pilgrim lodge if this will be okay and seen as respectful. The the priest who saw me at the pagoda was very warm and welcoming when i arrived at the start of the hike. I hope i can join them again this year. Thanks for your videos 😊😊😊

Thank you for watching Deep Japan. I have another episode about Yamabushi called, “Tenkawa village and Shugendo.” If you have time, please check. Have a great time in Japan and Buddha bless you.
