Combining esoteric Buddhist practice, Shinto awareness of the living sacredness of nature, Daoist teachings, and outdoor ascetism such as mountain ascents and immersion in waterfalls, Shugendo is an intensely embodied path of awakening. In Shugendo, mountains and the natural word themselves become the mandala of spiritual practice. Shugendo is truly a way to be reborn in nature.
