DESCRIPTION:<strong>Dai Ajari Ryojun Shionuma</strong>&nbsp\;is one of the 
 only people alive to have completed two of the most difficult ascetic prac
 tices in the Shugendo Buddhist tradition. The Omine Thousand Day Circumamb
 ulation Practice is a sacred journey to enlightenment. For one thousand da
 ys\, Shionuma ascended 4\,000 feet up to the summit of Japan's Mt. Omine\,
  then back down again\, traversing rocky terrain\, battling the elements\,
  and marching on despite injury or illness. After finishing this strenuous
  training\, he went on to complete the Four Deprivations &mdash\; nine day
 s straight without food\, water\, sleep or even lying down. Shionuma\, who
  earned the exalted title of Dai Ajari and went on to found Jigenji temple
 \, joins us to share the life lessons he learned on his journey to awakeni
 ng.&nbsp\;<em>Followed by a reception.</em>
