鼓動

人は山に登り、問う。
生きることは、なぜこうも苦しいのかと。

野に伏し、山に伏し、
我、仏と共にあり。

山に籠る者は、山を母胎と呼ぶ。
母の身体に還り、
うまれかわることを願った。

やがて近づく漆黒の夜に、
ひとは「生きたい」という本能を知り、
差込む朝日に、生きる希望を抱いた。

葉擦れの音、獣の声。
木霊する姿なき音は、母の鼓動。
いのちの歌。

人は山に問い、そして誓う。
生きることを。

The Beat of Life

People climb the mountain, searching for an answer
Why is life filled with such suffering?

Monks who seclude themselves in the mountain call it a womb
Returning to her body, longing for rebirth.

Lying upon the earth, embraced by the mountain,
they breathe I am one with Buddha.

As the darkness of night deepens,
a primal instinct awakens I want to live.
In the morning light that pierces the abyss,
a flicker of hope emerges.

The rustling of leaves, the cries of beasts.
An unseen echo resounds
a mother’s heartbeat, the beat of life.

They encountered the mountain and vowed
to live.

The Spirit of ShugendōThe Beat of the Mountains

Shugendō, founded by En no Gyōja in the 7th century, is a tradition of mountain asceticism that intertwines Buddhist teachings with ancient spiritual practices. Its practitioners, the yamabushi, undergo rigorous training deep in the mountains, seeking to cultivate resilience, enlightenment, and harmony with nature.

Rigen Daishi later integrated Shugendō with esoteric Buddhism, revitalizing its practice and establishing Daigoji as the head temple of the Tōzan school.

For over 1,300 years, this tradition has deepened the bond between humanity and nature, revealing both the immense power of nature and the strength that lies within us.
