Yamabushido is a Japanese term that combines "Yamabushi," referring to ascetic mountain monks, and "bushido," the way of the warrior. This philosophy emphasizes spiritual growth through nature, meditation, and physical discipline. Practitioners often engage in rigorous training in mountainous areas, seeking harmony between body and mind. The practice of Yamabushido incorporates elements of Shinto and Buddhism, focusing on self-discovery and enlightenment. It encourages individuals to confront their limitations and develop resilience. By embracing the natural world, followers aim to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe.
