Meditate under Waterfall on Mt. Takao in Tokyo

Since centuries and centuries ago, Japanese people have stood under waterfalls in order to get rid of worldly desires and purify their body and mind. Focus your mind and reflect on yourself while chanting Mantras and Sutras.
Commune with nature and fully take in the spiritual energy filling the mountain. By the time you step out of the water, you may have discovered a "brand new you."

We'll meet at the outside of Takaosanguchi Station on the Keio Line, then head along a mountain trail for about 20 min to Biwa Waterfall where many people visit to practice asceticism.

After arriving at the waterfall, let's try out reading a "Buddhist Sutra" at a temple hall nearby. You'll then change into "white clothes" and clean up around the waterfall to show your respect to nature. After that, I'll sprinkle your body with salt and water for purification, and now you are ready to go beneath the waterfall!

貴重で神聖な体験をありがとうございました 初心者には強くも弱くもない水量 きれいな水を見てるだけでも 心が澄んでいきます。 滝行の場所までは徒歩で行きますが それがまた心の準備に丁度よい距離です。 般若心経を唱えたり、塩やお酒、お掃除で清めたり滝行に関しての色々な作法を教えていただきました。 終わった後の爽快感は体験したことのない位 格別なものでした。 入る前終わった後の気合も総じて何かを断ち切るとき、逆に何かを打ち込むときに とても良い行だとおもいます。 またそれを和ませるような住職たちの掛け合いにホッとできました。 優しく丁寧に、修行中は私たちが怪我の無いよう常に目を配り心配りに絶やさず動いてくださったこととっても感謝しています。
