And what to do
Once yamabushi training ends, the real training begins: real life. So when something huge happens in your life, you’re facing the real real training. Fortunately, you have your time on the mountains to look back to. There is a space in the mountains that, if you focus your mind on for even a mere millisecond, you can be taken back to. A place where no one can reach you. Your own nirvana deep in the recesses of the mind-mountain.
When the real real training begins, that’s exactly where you go. Stay there for as long as you feel necessary, then step back into the real training.
