The 88 Temples (English Version) Full movie

Gian D. Ceccato meets a pilgrim, Kei Takano, on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela 800 Kms pilgrimage. When Kei offers Gian to be his guide if he decides to visit the 88 Temples, a Buddhist pilgrimage in Kei's country, Japan, Gian takes Kei at his word. Four years later, Gian finds himself trying to enter into a spiritual world he could not hope to grasp. At the end of his journey, he experienced a new awareness that the human spirit needs something greater than living the day-to- day life.
N.B. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS FILM IS NOT ABOUT THE AUTHOR'S NEWFOUND FAITH; HE IS A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. INSTEAD, IT IS ABOUT HIS UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION FOR ALL PEOPLE "OF PEACE AND GOOD WILL." (Luke 2:14)

Found your trip inspirational. Wish you good health

Dear Mr. Ceccato, This truly is a marvelous account of your experience in Shikoku. I have lived here in Shikoku since 2007 and have experienced the Shikoku Pilgrimage myself. You have very nicely encapsulated the experience of walking the path beautifully, honestly, and with artistry and style. Thank you very much for producing this. At this time, my wife and I work as the Concierge for Tourism Shikoku. If you do not mind, I will refer to your great work for those who contact us expressing interest in the life-changing experience that is the Shikou Pilgrimage.

[@digigian]

Thank you so much for your kind words. You brightened my day! Of course, you are free to refer to the video with your contacts.

[@Ivy-ds9cx]

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and inspirational journey. 🙏

[@JustWalkJapan]

Wonderful -- truly wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this. Your emotional connection to the experience is perfectly expressed in this film with an excellent melding of images, words, and music.

[@digigian]

Thank you Don. I appreciate very much you've taken the time to give me feedback. Words of encouragement like that make it all the more worthwhile the investment.

[@JustWalkJapan]

@@digigian I'm most impressed by your humility and honesty in how you present yourself. The act of making a pilgrimage is a spiritual adventure, and you have fully entered into this spirit. I am also very impressed with your editing. I have used the same approach in my own videos about the pilgrimage, but you have succeeded much better than I have. Please let me know if you ever come to Japan again. I would enjoy walking with you. (I live in Tokushima City).

[@digigian]

@@JustWalkJapan You're very kind Don! It's very unlikely I will get the chance of returning to Japan, although I would love it.

[@sebastiank9175]

thank you Gian, its one of my wish to take this pilgrimage route and i will make an effort soon once Japan is open up again when the covid was over, I was in nepal when for two weeks before the covid started and I am supposed to make plan to do this pilgrimage in 2020 but I am sure the day will come.

[@digigian]

It sounds like you'll do it for sure. All the best.

[@sound_of_awakening]

What a wonderful and beautiful video - thank you, Gian. I am about to understand my own pilgrimage. This video has given me much faith. Bless you and your family .

[@Ettinger81]

Very touching and inspiring, thank you for sharing!

[@lucdelorme2181]

A must see video!

[@Nigata443]

Thank you for taking us on your wonderful journey. Your video is a master piece that really pulls the viewer in and on our own inner journey.

[@digigian]

Thank you Jeff, you're very kind. I much appreciate you're letting me know you like it.

[@paulharwalik3054]

Dear Gian - thank you very much for sharing this wonderful film. I feel the spirit of shikoku and it further confirms me to go this pilgrimage route. Thank you. May your film bring joy to many people and accompany them on their way to enlightment.

[@digigian]

Dear Paul, thank you. Perhaps, you should consider taking the Camino De Santiago too. The pilgrimage is powerful in awakening and strengthening the higher self.

[@kierano5496]

Excellent video, Gian! I walked the henro too (April/May 2017.)

[@sarojamaryanne5167]

Did you go to this place too?

[@josephmeshal6593]

So beautiful

[@wadawads]

Lovely!

[@michaelpiper6769]

A truly inspirational video on your pilgrimage. Would love to be able to contact you to ask some questions and understand your travel, accommodation experience etc

[@N_Loco_Parenthesis]

Thank you for your voice. This is a good introduction to Shikoku but it is your voice, like Feodor Chaliapin's, that holds me.

[@heesofi]

Such a lovely watching watching this - as myself walking on a regular basis on Caminos in Spain, Shikoku 88 is a most wanted path to walk. The nature is stunning the strenopus task is tempting and luring, people are nice, what is not to like, except the lang haul flight...Thank you for making the decision easier... In frame 44:52 you have a roll of duct tape strapped to your pact, and I thought, what an unusual implement for walking this is. Is that for wrapping up your backpack for the flight !?

[@digigian]

No, the tape was not for wrapping up the backpack. By applying a piece of tape on the sensitive area of your feet, prevents formation of a blister. Best wishes.

[@heesofi]

@@digigian oh I see, I use K-tape......thnx

[@nowgaku]

Don't need to be any religion. But you might back to be yourself through Shikoku pilgrim.

[@ext1013]

Can i watch this other than amc?

[@rmt3589]

12:00 sounds like the Song of Storms from Legend of Zelda.

[@edvhollywood4544]

Can we get the book for prayers in English? Just having these explanations were so interesting.

[@digigian]

I’ll ask David Moreton (the professor in the film) and get back to you.

[@josephmeshal6593]

God bless you
