Synopsis

Bumping Into Buddha: Wandering The Shikoku Trail
(The Greyscale Edition)
The Shikoku pilgrimage in Japan is a 1,200 kilometer trail that has been attempted by Buddhists for a thousand years. The path crosses 88 temples through contrasting landscapes of remote mountains and densely urban environments. Every step along the way is meant to test devotion. This story chronicles one pilgrim's attempt to reach all 88 temples. The resulting book is filled with insightful tales, hard introspection, and unorthodox commentary from a self-described non-traditional pilgrim, who isn’t from Japan and not actually Buddhist. It begs the question why anyone would put themselves through this arduous test. If it’s not for faith, then for what?
