Overview
Unveiling the Secrets of Japan's Imperial Capital
Comienzce su recorrido por la senda de los sokushinbutsu, donde historia y devoción se entrelazan en las montañas de Dewa: durante siglos, monjes del budismo esotérico Shingon emprendieron un riguroso ascetismo que culminaba en la automomificación con la esperanza de alcanzar la iluminación y convertirse en “Budhas vivientes”.
Documentada desde la Edad Media, la práctica implicaba años de dieta extrema, meditación y rituales para preservar el cuerpo; hoy sus restos y los templos que los custodian forman rutas de peregrinación y memoria cultural. En este tour visitaremos esos lugares, conoceremos el contexto religioso, las motivaciones espirituales y el legado de estos ascetas, siempre con respeto y perspectiva histórica.
