Shingon waterfall prayers Posted by Picasa

This photo was published by Mainichi and captures a great moment. Such waterfall prayers are a tradition in Japan, having been recorded since ancient times. These girls probably don't know how sexy they look, but anyway, it is all about spirit, isn't it.

Quote of the day:

Japanese women clad in pure white robes endure a waterfall during a Shingon Buddhist ritual in an exercise of the mind and soul at Inunakisan mountain in Izumisano, western Japan, August 21, 2005. Founded some 1300 years ago, the steep mountain sets the scene for exercises taught by Shipporyuji temple monks for those who come to pray, purify, and wish.
