Practitioners of Japanese martial arts often have an inaccurate view of samurai, yamabushi (mountain ascetics), farmers, and priests. They also have an incomplete understanding of the complex interrelationships between these groups, since the media rarely mentions samurai who became farmers, priests who killed samurai, or mountain ascetics who buried themselves alive. The biographies of four individuals who all engaged in extreme ascetic practices can help to clarify the role these individuals played in history, and the effect that they had on others’ lives. Shinnyokai was a farmer who killed a samurai. Testumonkai fell in love with a prostitute, and then killed two warriors with his bare fists before becoming a priest. Honmyokai, a samurai vassal of Lord Sakai, killed himself to not only save his lord’s life, but to save all of humankind, and Myokai was on the verge of cutting open his own stomach, before a miraculous occurrence changed his mind and revealed his destiny.
Sokushinbutsu SelfMummified Monks and the Samurai eBook Ken Jeremiah
This was a set of short stories that were like reading cliff notes into the past of four monks from different walks of life and different times. I was hoping that there would be more historical information than what was delivered. I would say this, however, when I travel to Japan, I would use this information to go to the temples to view for myself.If you're looking for more than this wouldn't be the avenue for you.
