Next, we're off to Nanzenji Temple on Daihonzan.
Nanzenji is a temple of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism
It is the most prestigious of all Zen temples.
Then let's go.
This is Nanzenji.
Rinzai Zen Buddhism.
The most famous part of Rinzai-shu is.
Hieizan Enryakuji Temple
It's a Rinzai sect, so it's the same as Enryakuji Temple.
The Heart Sutra, basically.
I'd like to offer it to.
I've trained at Enryakuji Temple once.
It's been 4:00 a.m. all morning.
Reading the Heart Sutra and being struck by a waterfall
Are you going to be hit by a waterfall?
Yes, I practice falling downhill.
It's hard.
It's fun.
Did you do zazen?
And zazen.
This Zen temple...
Whenever I move, they hit me.

Japanese: 
では次は大本山南禅寺にやってまいりました
南禅寺は臨済宗のお寺で
禅寺の中で最も高い格式を持つお寺です
では行ってみましょう
ここは南禅寺
臨済宗ですね
臨済宗の一番有名なところでいうと
比叡山延暦寺
あれは臨済宗なので延暦寺と同じです
般若心経を基本は
お供えします
私も延暦寺で修行をしたことがあるんですけど
朝4時からずっと
般若心経を読んで滝に打たれるという
滝に打たれるんですか？
そう 滝に打たれる修行をします
ハードですね
楽しいですよ
座禅もしたんですか？
座禅もしたね
この禅寺って
何か動くと殴るんです

Japanese: 
この木の薄いぺったんこのやつで
ぺたって殴るんですけど
この臨済宗の殴る木って角材です
え！？
角材 本当に四角の
痛そう
それで後ろからパコンって殴るんじゃなく
前から3発ずつ合計6発どつきます
ドンドンドン ドンドンドン
それが また痛くて
音がでかくて すごいのね
すごいですね
本当に
そんなことされちゃうんですね
臨済宗は怖いです
怖いですね
はい では
ひときわ大きな門ですね
三門ですね
そうですね 三門です
南禅寺の重要文化財 三門です

English: 
It's this thin, flattened wooden thing.
I mean, I've been known to slap the solder
This Rinzai wood for punching is horn wood.
Huh?
Square wood, really square.
Ouch.
So instead of punching me in the back.
Three in front and three in back, for a total of six rounds.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
And it hurt again.
It is loud. It is amazing.
It's amazing.
Really.
I'm sorry they did that to you.
I'm afraid of the Rinzai sect.
It's scary.
Okay, then.
It's an extraordinarily large gate.
The three gates.
That's right. Sanmon.
Sanmon (San-mon Gate), an important cultural property of Nanzenji.

English: 
It's called Rinzai.
It's a religion that puts a lot of importance on the practice.
That's why it's called a thousand-day circuit.
I'll call it an apprenticeship.
Rinzai sect.
What it's about is 1,000 days.
The train like hell.
I don't remember how many pounds I weighed at first.
And that's for a few hundred days.
The rest of the hundreds of days are about 60 km.
60 kilos.
Running around, every day.
So.
I don't have much time to sleep.
The most amazing thing about it.
It's amazing.
The last seven days.
The last seven days.
without sleeping a wink
Not a drop of water.
Without eating a single meal.
You're fasting?
I've been chanting.
People die if they don't sleep for 72 hours.
Really?
You have to drink water for a few days or you'll die.
You can live without eat a few days, but if you don't drink your water, you'll die.
but
The last seven days of the Thousand-Day Mountain Pass

Japanese: 
臨済宗というのは
修行をすごく大切にする宗教なんです
だから千日回峰行という
修行をみんなというかします
臨済宗は
どんなのかというと1,000日間
地獄みたいな訓練をするんですね
最初は何キロか忘れましたけど
それを何百日か
残りの何百日かが60キロぐらいかな
40キロかな
走り回ります 毎日
だから
寝る時間があまりないんですよ
一番すごいのが
すごいですね
最後の7日間
最後の7日間は
一睡もせず
一滴の水も飲まず
一食も食べずに
断食ですか？
ずっとお経を
人って72時間寝ないと死ぬんです
そうなんですか？
何日間か水を飲まないと死ぬんです
食事はいいけど水を飲まないと死ぬんです
でも
千日回峰行の最後の7日間は

English: 
not drinking, not eating, not sleeping
So you've been chanting for seven days straight.
The only people who can do that are.
Really, one in thousands.
Yes.
It's
That's what it takes to be a monk.
It's not.
Are you an apprentice?
Even if you start at the very bottom.
He's going to complete a thousand-day trip.
It's the highest possible ranking.
That's why I can overtake them.
So I can't normally do that.
People don't sleep for three days or they die.
I know, right?
I can't normally do that.
And the person who makes it will go to the highest rank.
I see.
Taka-san, you did that?
I can't do that.
I've been going around for a thousand days.
Yeah, great.
I've had some success with some of them so far.
I have a pervert who has done it twice.
That's only one person ever.
You've got to go to the 2,000th circuit.
It's amazing.
So you've spent six years in training.
That's what I thought.

Japanese: 
飲まず 食わず 寝ず
7日間ずっとお経を唱え続けるんですね
それをできる人というのは
本当に何千人に1人
そうですね
それは
それはお坊さんになるための
違う
修行なんですか？
一番ペーペーから入っても
千日回峰行を成し遂げると
最高の位になるんです
だから追い抜くことができるんで
だから普通はできないです
3日間寝ないと普通は死ぬんで
そうですよね
普通はできないんです
それを成し遂げた人が最高の位に行くっていう
なるほど
たかさん それやったんですか？
それはできないです
千日回峰行はね
ええ すごい
今までに何人か成功しているんですけど
2回やった変態の方がいるんですけど
それは今までに1人だけですね
二千日回峰行ってね
すごいですね
6年を修行に費やしたということですね
そういうことですね

Japanese: 
臨済宗の最高の位です
すごいですね
天井の龍があります
これは鳴き竜ですかね
これは鳴き龍じゃないですね
カメラからは伝わらないと思うんですけど
近づいただけで すごく涼しい風が来ています
あそこだけ空気が違います
南禅寺というと
ちょっと特徴的な
水路というか門みたいなのが
ありますね
印象的なんですけど

English: 
It's the highest rank in the Rinzai sect.
It's amazing.
There's a dragon in the ceiling.
Is this a squealing dragon?
This is not a squealing dragon.
I don't think the camera can get through to you.
There's a very cool breeze coming from just outside.
The air is different up there.
When I think of Nanzenji, I think of
It's a bit distinctive.
It's like a canal, or a gate.
Yes, there is.
I'm impressed.

English: 
It's amazing.
This is a canal.
There's water all over the place.
This big bridge is one of the waterways.
It's called the Waterway Pavilion.

Japanese: 
すごいですね
これは水路です
いたるところに水が流れているんですけど
この大きな橋も水路の一つですね
水路閣って書いてありますね
