""Charismatic priest Tateishi Kôshô has established his training center The Forest of Mountain Learning as a space for individuals at a crossroads in their lives to contemplate nature and know their heart mind. Kôshô's musical and culinary virtuosity and wisdom gained from mountain ascetic practices make him an appealing conversation partner. But his disciplined practice and protection of the natural world from illegal dumping and gravel production earn him the admiration of a global cohort of pilgrims."--Container."
""In The Lotus Ascent, we accompany 120 male pilgrims from all walks of life on a twenty-six kilometer climb to the peak of Japan's Mt. Ômine. This sacred mountain, off limits to women, is regarded as the home of divinities and immortals as well as the mother's womb : a site of rebirth, catharsis, and healing. Returning with them to the sprawling metropolises they call home, we discover pilgrims' motivations and integration of lessons learned from nature in daily life. Might the two be seen as one?"--Container."
"Shugendō, or the Way of Acquiring Power, is a unique school of Japanese asceticism, a blend of Shinto, Daoism and Buddhism. Practitioners perform arduous rituals in mountain wildernesses and are deeply committed to protecting the natural environment. Shugendo practitioners take guidance and inspiration from semi-legendary 7th century mystic En no Ozunu (or En no Gyoja), who is venerated as a bodhisattva. Shugendo is not one isolated tradition but various expressions of spiritual practice that share common practices and similar aims."
