The Discipline of Pure Fire (Saika Gyo Ho) in Shinto Buddhism: Fire Ritual in Japanese Religious Traditions - Hardcover
Synopsis
This comparative study documents and analyzes the creation of a Shinto-Buddhist fire ritual, the Discipline of Pure Fire (Saika gyo ho) performed monthly at Tsubaki Grand Shrine, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The late Yamamoto Yukitata Guki created this fire ritual by draming on "the ancient heritage of Japanese religion," incorporating both Shingon Buddhist and Shugendo (Japanese mountain asceticism) practices. A comparative analysis of this ritual with fire rites from these two traditions provides us with a means of examining the kinds of creative adaptations, innovations and guiding principles that brought about the birth of this unique Shinto-Buddhist ritual fire.
