Nichiren Shu Dai-Aragyo (The Era of the Heart: Religion and Life)

Aragyō is a 100-day retreat of the Nichiren School (Nichiren Shu) held from 1st November -10th February, in the middle of winter. For one hundred days they eat two meals a day consisting only of rice gruel, miso soup and a couple of pickles. They perform cold water purifications seven times each a day, and chant the Lotus Sutra all day sitting in the painful seiza position, sleeping only for around 3 hours. The Priests who voluntarily undergo this strict regime, do so for the benefit of others. During this period of intense practice the practitioners gain spiritual power and learn special methods of prayer to remove people’s sicknesses and give health, prosperity, love and respect, and remove spirits and afflictions. During the retreat, the practitioners are totally cut off from the world. There has only ever been one time when a film crew was allowed to capture parts of the practice – to produce a documentary for NHK back in the 80s. During the documentary they also interviewed the Denshi (Master of the Aragyo-Hall) at that time - Reverend Nagamura Nippo, an amazing master who had completed 2,500 days of ascetic practice.
