This is a morning service at Sojiji, one of the highest temples of Soto Zen Buddhism in Japan. Anyone who has entered into Buddhist orders in Japan will be familiar with (and I daresay even nostalgic for) this elaborate 50-minute service which usually runs from 5am to 6am. None of these monks have had breakfast, which is served after the service is finished.
Hello, I lived a quasi-monastic life on the Antioch Buddhist Studies Program, but I haven't entered a monastery permanently, because I've found more exciting distractions in the meantime. As you may know, joining a Japanese Buddhist order does not mean meditating every day. It means learning a medieval liturgy and performing funerals. Still, I developed a deep love for the Japanese tradition on the study abroad program and I am writing books about Japan's esotericism today.

I wish if there are people that can make this again with HD recording and new filiming technique, Dharma treasures should be preserved.

It seems temple has been doing this every morning from over 80 years ago, but it might be difficult to record. However, you will be able to see this anytime by coming to the temple in Yokohama at 5:00 A.M.

Can you tell me please what is this ceremony about ?
This seems beautiful in it's form and preciseness. This may be a random question but have you entered Buddhist orders in Japan? I'm interested in joining a temple myself.
