Dai-Aragyo part 1

100 day long ascetic practice. Priests undergo this training with 2 hours of sleep a day and very little food. It builds thier spiritual power and when complete they can conduct the Kito blessing. They practice subjugating evil spirits and curses. Many phases of this training are secret, these are only the parts which have been approved for public view. There is a correction for the subtitle during the water purification. They actually perform it 7 times a day instead of the 8 listed.

This is the 100 day Aragy performed every year at the Nakayama Hokkokyo-ji in Chiba. They chant partions of the Lotus sutra and the Daimoku (Namu myo ho ren ge kyo) for hours while learning how to do kito blessings. It is famous for being very intense and severe. It is a very powerful blessing. If you have any questions you can mail me here.
