The Bell |
Endless quest for enlightenment |
Driven to extremes to become one with the exalted, reach immortality |
Stemming from Shingon doctrines |
Bizarre customs emerge |
Practice of living embalment baffling |
Uninitiated minds |
Persevere to preserve (Your earthly vessel) |
Your earthly vessel becomes a monument of spiritual sublimity |
Sublimity achieved through acts of self-denial |
Endurance beyond humanity |
Stage 1 |
Meditation beneath icy waters |
Self imposed hardships to drain body fat |
Merciless reduction of food intake |
Deprived of all earthly pleasures |
Stage 2 |
Bark and roots, your sole nutrition |
Toxic substances cause rapid loss of body fluids, vomiting |
Arsenic ingestion corrupts |
The little meat left on your bones |
Stage 3 |
Encased alive in your tomb |
Engrossed in spirituality |
The bell rings for 13 days |
Until silence signals transformation |
Strengthened through excruciation |
Body fat extermination |
Deliberate contamination |
Flesh now unfit for consumption |
Torment chocked through meditation |
Locked tight in Lotus position |
Successful mummification |
Postmortal idolization |
Sacred site of admiration |
A dead body’s exhibition |
Visitors confronted with greatness |
