Sakai was NOT a member of Unit731, and I found some wrong translations as well.

You misinterpret their journey.

YOU are doing your own walk of 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead'.

For many of these monks, they have spent a considerable amount of time in spiritual practice and ritual, but haven't experience the sorrow and pain of many of the things we do

in daily living. Their suffrage journey is compressed into a 1000 day period.

Ours may be drawn out slower over the coarse of 20-30-50 years.

Lost opportunities, regret, pain, divorce...etc.

Enjoy your walk.

The story from 13:35 to 14:00 is a big lie.

The priest Yuusai Sakai was born in 1926.

Therefore, he was 19 years old at the end of WW2 (1945), and the fact was a kamikaze pilot in the Navy flight school students.

He was too young to belong to the 731 units of medical specialties.

It is what a groundless program.

He did not belong to the 731 corps.

Does this film want to take an audience rating dirtying his honor?
