We visit the Shiporyuji temple and do the Goma ceremony, a Mountain Asceticism known as “Shugen-do.” Goma means “to burn” in Sanskrit. As fire burns away everything on the ground, including even defilement and worldly desires, it is believed to be sacred. We offer your wishes at the “Gomadan” altar by making a holy fire in front of Honzon (principal image of Buddha), Kurikara Fudo Myo-o.
