Buddhist Monks’ Daily Ritual Offering to Kobo Daishi, Koyasan | The Real Japan | HD
Koyasan (高野山) is a sacred Buddhist mountain retreat in Wakayama Prefecture.
Founded in the 9th century by the great Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi as the headquarters of the Shingon sect of Buddhism.
Followers believe Kobo Daishi did not pass away, instead entering a state of eternal mediation.
The mausoleum of Kobo Daishi is inside Okunoin (奥の院) an immense graveyard of 200,000 Buddhist monk graves, the largest in Japan.
Twice a day, every day of the year, monks make a sacred ritual offering of a meal to Kobo Daishi.
