Well this is the Japanese version of the Vedic (and Proto Indo-European) "Homa" fire ritual or "Yagna" as it's called in Sanskrit. It obviously percolated into Japan with the Indian Buddhist missionaries. But still, the vedic and tantric Homa are elegant in it's own way. For starters, they way more complicated. The mudras (i.e. the hand gestures) they are using become way more complicated in Hinduism.
I had the pleasure of seeing this in person just about a week ago. Koyasan is a beautiful place and we had an amazing stay at Ekoin. Many thanks for everything! :-)
Shingon Buddhism stems from Vajrayana.........This fire ritual is done in Tibet also but on a grander scale. The Vajrayana of Japan comes from China and that from India, not Tibet however.
Stefos Kriya,Charya and Yoga Tantra only are present in shingon while most Tibetan fire pujas even public ones are done on an anuttarayoga tantra scale
Tantra and yagya or fire ritual is attested Vedic practice which adopted by buddhist however buddha himself forbidden any rituals ....or such type of practice
@@stefos6431 please mention Were buddh prescribed any 1 fire ritual 2 rituals 3 god or deities 4 mantra "Bija or seed mantra" 6 Idol worship {All these are strongly present in almost all sect's of Buddhism} Infact he {Buddh}opposed Orthodox practice of contemporary clergy which involved these. Now come to Tripiṭaka Tripiṭaka modified by Buddhist clergy and theologians who added many things and they influenced by contemporary practice . Stories...other stuffs .
This is Vajrayana spread from India to tibet and to Japan.....this is what Hindus call homa or hawan and Japanese call goma... Most Matras have Sanskrit origin
+Jose C. Rivera Sir, Buddhism is about the Nature of mind, not gods. You really should study about trances and Dharmapalas as well........Dharma protectors.
This ritual is quite similar to the Hindu practice of Homa, but offerings are made to various deities (Indra, Surya, Agni, Vayu, Varuna, etc.). And we use ghee and herbs to make offerings into the fire. Here, I think the priest is offering prayer sticks, oil, and a certain type of leaf.
Maulin Agrawal yes... reminds me of brahmin priests sitting at and tending the sacred fire. Perhaps it is a link back to an older syncretic form of buddhism that retained those fire related purity forms.
No Tibet secreto, existem duas escolas que se combatem mutuamente; quero referir-me, claramente, às instituições Mahayana e Jinayana, a escola Shingon é derivada do BUDISMO jinayana.
Randy Robison this is the shingnon goma fire ritual, presided by the ritual master.Fire,in most cultures holds a very powerful significance especially if invoked with skillfull means
The Seattle Koyasan Temple has a statement on their web site concerning the goma fire ritual: "The fire symbolizes the wisdom of the Buddha and the wood sticks symbolize human desires (the root of suffering). In this ritual, the Buddha burns away the root of our suffering as we pray for our wishes to come true." seattlekoyasan.com/services/goma-fire-ritual/
There is also a book from the Oxford University Press titled Homa Variations: The Study of Ritual Change Across the Longue Durée. books.google.com/books?id=tIShCgAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=shingon%20buddhist%20goma%20fire&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=shingon%20buddhist%20goma%20fire&f=false
You follow wrong Buddhism Buddhist is not about chanting its about follow Teaching of Buddha In Real Life Follow five Path And Eithfoldpath in life Buddha Is Against Chanting And Yagya And all of Deties this kind of Teaching follow in hinduism not in Buddhism
Unfortunately for you, a great Buddhist monk Bodhisena is the one who institutionalised this ceremony and many such practices. So please shut up about your decrying other Buddhist traditions.
Japanese take anything and make it more elegant. They refine the heck out of whatever is asimilated into their culture. Amazing people indded.
Collateral benefit of being utterly obsessive!

Koya draws a lot more western tourists than Japanese.
Not necessarily a bad thing!
they are extraterestial aliens in costumes.
If you live in the city you probably already visited this place
This is Vajrayana spread from India to tibet and to Japan.....this is what Hindus call homa or hawan and Japanese call goma...
Most Matras have Sanskrit origin
India to China(Han area), to Japan,in around 8 century(Tibet just contact with buddhaism then, from China and Nepal)

それにお経は仏様との架け橋であり、貴方が何も響いて来ないなら救われたいと思ってないからでしょ。

Blablabla
Buddhism ain't like Abrahamic Religions because Buddhism is not too devoted by a book, belief systems and dogmas. Buddhism is a Dharmic religion.
Unfortunately for you, a great Buddhist monk Bodhisena is the one who institutionalised this ceremony and many such practices. So please shut up about your decrying other Buddhist traditions.
Please don't discredit Buddhism and Buddha teching By Doing this type of wrong Thing And yagya 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠
This is Vajrayana Buddhism
Just go through about *Homa* in Wikipedia and see what does this ritual plays a role in Buddhism.
