One of the monks at Zenpoji told me that he was doing his training when the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami happened. This meant that he was locked inside his temple and didn’t have any idea of what was happening only a few hundred kilometers away, until his training ended. Could you imagine doing that training right now?

Each year, enough snow falls to cover the main gat

Each year, enough snow falls to cover the main gates of Mt. Yudono. This very location is known as the Swamp of the Immortals. The Swamp of the Immortals was originally used as training ground for the monks undertaking the 1,000-day training in order to become Sokushinbutsu, or Living Buddha. These monks even stayed here during the winter months proving just how dedicated they were to their training, and how dedicated they were to reaching Buddhahood. See dewasanzan.com/mtyudono for more.
