| 520 | |a At select temples throughout northeastern Japan, the robed bodies of self-mummified Buddhist monks are worshipped as "Living Buddhas." They are thought to heal the sick, protect the living, and continue to inspire monks with the intense dedication of their ascetic discipline centuries before. The Buddha Mummies of North Japan includes interviews with the monks who attend to these "Living Buddhas," descriptions of the dieting regime and austerities required in order to self-mummify, and a rare redressing ritual in which the robes of the mummies are cut into talismans for devotees. This is the first independent documentary to capture these mummified monks on film, to observe key ceremonies of their 12-year ritual cycle, and to present interviews with leading scholars on this rare form of contemporary Buddhism. | ||
