What does it mean to become a living Buddha?
Dakota explores the legend of Japanese monk Tetsumonkai, the mystery of sokushinbutsu, and awakening to our own Buddha nature.
In this episode, Dakota explores:
- Becoming a living Buddha via mummification
- The legend of Japanese monk Tetsumonkai
- The immortal diet of sokushinbutsu
- Dakota’s mountain journey to see the living Buddha-body of Tetsu Monkai
- Transcending the body and seeing our own Buddha nature
- Waking up from the habitual entropy that we are all lost in
“I sit there under Tetsumonkai. I got to sit there and look at his mummy body, his sokushinbutsu, his living Buddha-body. I had a deep realization—I saw in that moment that the meaning of Tetsumonkai is that there is no Tetsumonkai. Becoming the immortal Buddha is to transcend the body, to die within the body, to realize the truth while you are in the body. When you look at Tetsu Monkai, you’re looking at your own Buddha nature.” —Dakota Wint
