So grateful I had the chance to meet the Yamabushi and to delve into some practices. The mountains had a powerful way to humble me and to teach me some very important lessons.
Thanks Tim for your guidance and thanks for all the articles and videos you are producing. I have a lot to watch and read and I am really happy for this 🙏🏻 UKETAMO

Great video. I can’t recommend Tim and the experience enough.

What are the supernatural powers that a Yamabushi can obtain? You explained a lot, thank you, but could you please give detail on what the supernatural powers are since that's the meaning of the term Shugendo? Thank you.

Great video as always. Glad to do the hike on Hagurosan with you. I hope to do a three-peat one day.

I also do similar things like walk in forests, and last I climbed mount kurama about a month ago, I practice shinto, zen, Tibetan Bushist and Taoist teachings . I really want to learn this path

Very nicely explained Tim!

The Shugendo festival I went to today (Kongo-san Tenporin-ji Renge) is Shinbutsu Shugyo as it involves rituals at both Katsuragi jinja and Tenporin-ji that are only a short walk apart.

The festival marks the death of En-no-Gyoja since July 7th is the anniversary.

The hiwatari was not nearly as hot this year though!

How does present day yamabushi relate to the one from the past when "Yamabushi who self-mummified to become Sokushinbutsu (Living Buddha) had to spend at least 1, 000 days in the mountains. The self-mummification process involved severe fasting over an extended period" ?

how many sects of yamabushi currently exist in Japan and what are they ? I am aware that there are shinto, buddhist and taoist sects,
