shugendo studies oceania

Shugendō (修験道) is a 1500+ year-old syncretic religious path of training and testing combining elements of Esoteric-Buddhism, Mountaineering-Asceticism, Shinto and Taoism.
Shugendō is characterised by its periodic rituals of spiritual death & rebirth, pilgrimage, ascetic exercises, retreat and meditation practices.
The Koshikidake (甑嶽山) sect's home temple, Kannon-ji (観音寺), is located in Yamagata prefecture, Japan. This is the site of a branch located in Meanjin (Brisbane, Australia).

Website built on Aboriginal Land. We acknowledge the unceded sovereignty of Dippil, Jaggera, Goori, Kabi Kabi, Turrbal and surrounding countries. We acknowledge the ongoing grief, sorrow and resistance - the inheritance of genocide, ecocide and land trauma. Humbly, with gratitude and in pursuit of a decolonising solidarity, we pay respects to the peoples, languages, laws and ceremonies that have walked these lands since ancient times.
