Tendai is Mahayana buddhism with Taimitsu, Shingon is esoteric Vajrayana buddhism called "Tômitsu"... SHUGENDO is different than tendai, shingon or zen... Doctrine of Shugen came from Mikkyo but not only... Outside praticing is very important: nature/mountains are natural Mandara _/\_
We said in Japan that Shogoin Yamabushi chanting style is between the ANGER of Miidera temple of Tendai Jimon branch & CRYING of Enryakuji temple of Tendai Sanmon Headquarter... Be well / Gasshoo
Thats to bad i dont want to get involved in adharma, guess i'll have to stick with Tendai. I highly respect your tradition Rev. Maybe one day i'll visit japan. The Yamabushi are so amazing
In Japan, for eeing able to follow or study with genuine yamabusi , it is better if you could speak japanese... shugendo is very close tradition to non-japanese _/\_ skg
Sorry, In US the shugendo; almost temples are neo-buddhism or neo-shinto (new sects). The Shugendo of Honzan branch is only present in France at Shômudo hemitage in french Alps:: Shugendo is different than Tendai Sanmon branch or Tendai Jimon branch, or Shingon Kôgi or Shingi or any zen. The sutra lecture are completly different, & explanations too. Shugendo is "mountain buddhism" with Mikkyo rituals inside mountain!
Shugendo is vajrayana mountain buddhism of Japan, Shugendo have several branches: one is from shingon buddhism with monk Shobo Archibishop Rigen & other branch is with monk Zoyo, from Tendai buddhism...Practicing inside "womb/mountain" is fundamental of Shugendo _/\_ skg
Witchraft & sorcery are western culture... Mantra came from Vajrayana indian buddhism & induism... There 4 families of Mantra which can be incantations, spellings or more. This style of Shogoin chanting is now the basci style for all Honzan Shugen praticionners, Miyagi Gomonshu's style. Each master have his own chanting style.... _/\_ skg
very special recording, good sound

Thank you for your information. Do you have any homepages or books you can recommend? I only once read two articles from Sueyoshi Akeshi.

incantations? spells? sounds more like witchcraft and sorcery.
