Marathon Monks - Japan

Too bad I watched this while I was procrastinating my homework...

This is not the path of the middle. Buddha denied asceticism .
But after he did it.

yep... but only after he had experienced the most extreme form of asceticism. It was only once he had returned from that that he taught the middle way.

Yeah but he was fat git though

hardcore to the MAX!  VERY inspiring.

5 min. aikido

asia.. beautiful to me. very different life.

It's really unforgivable that they broadcasted such a vicious lie, Sakai was in the unit 731. He was a naval student pilot during the WW2. He was DEFINITELY NOT in the unit 731. There were two main reasons why he entered the priesthood, the death of his friends during war and the suicide of his wife. The disgusting story in this vid about the unit 731 is clearly malicious concotion.

wow talk about taking it to the extreme, like they've got probabley peaked human stamina after finishing that

Absolutly amazing. Such discipline is deeply admired.
