The Freezing Waterfalls of Oiwasan Nissekiji Temple
A video showing some folks enduring freezing cold waterfalls at the head temple for the Shingon sect of Buddhism:
From the Yomiuri:
Shingon Buddhist followers stand under a waterfall while praying for good health at Oiwasan Nissekiji temple in Kamiichimachi, Toyama Prefecture, on Monday. About 70 people joined the ascetic training that is conducted annually on daikan, which is said to be the coldest day of the year. The participants stood beneath six six-meter high waterfalls behind the temple while chanting a sutra as the temperature hovered around 0 C.
Too cold for ya?
