Ep 180 – The Marathon Monks of Japan

The Tendai Monks of Japan follow old tradition in Buddhism. A very few of them follow local, very difficult tradition to bring Enlightenment. This is a 7-year process that must be finished or face death. I talk about what the monk goes through during the years to reach this superhuman goal. It is one of true transformation and nearly unbelievable. We can learn much from these monks. We don’t need to set such lofty goals, but we can set great goals and work, putting all of out focus in completing these goals. Be awed, inspired and amazed by these monks this week.
