SUMMARY:Fire walking ritual at Daishoin Temple
DESCRIPTION:The impressive hi-watari-shiki fire walking ritual takes place at Daishoin Temple on Miyajima twice a year in spring and autumn. \nThe spring event is held on April 15\, no matter what day of the week it is. \nReadings from the 8000 verse Perfection of Wisdom Sutra begin at 11am and extravagant Saito-goma rituals begin around 1pm in the temple forecourt with a purification offering to the alter and the chanting of sutras. This is followed by two Buddhist monks circling the area with swords and then shooting 7 arrows into the air which the worshippers struggle to retrieve. Lastly\, while mountain priests blow conch shells\, the pile of cypress branches is ignited. After the fire burns down and only red coals remain\, the head Buddhist monk\, followed by the mountain monks and worshippers\, walk barefoot across the coals chanting a prayer for good health and fortune. \nMembers of the public are welcome to cross the ashes barefoot. \nPhoto: Lance Cpl.
