新滝で滝修行
次は新滝での滝行です。険しい山道を登りきると雄大な新滝が姿を現します。清滝と違い駐車場からはその雄大な滝を眺めることはできません。ここには新滝不動明王と二大童子、穴弁財天、観世音菩薩、大黒天などが祀られています。まず諸神仏に滝行中の安全祈願とご加護の祈念をします。今年は穴弁財天の神前を工事していたため穴弁財天さまではお参りできませんでした。雄大な滝であるため、ここで命を落とした行者も多いことです。ここには成仏しない霊も多く、しっかりした指導僧のもとに滝行を修めることが不可欠です。また大量の水が高所から落ちてくるため頭と頚部にかなりの負担がかかります。姿勢によっては頚椎損傷の危険もあります。素人が受けられる滝ではありません。決して無理をしてはいけません。命がけで修行する場合もありますが、これはごく一部の高僧だけに許されることで、命を無駄にすることは許されないのです。命を大切にできない者は行者にはなれません。無茶で危険な修行を行っても、ご神仏は守護して頂けないでしょう。大切なことは極端な修行をするのではなく、地道に一生修行を続けることなのです。

清めの滝



Only a handful of experienced ascetics are allowed to stand under this waterfall. It carries a lot of water after rain and is really dangerous.
The most important part is not really to take part in a dangerous exercise but to lead a proper life every day. This is what you can learn at this waterfall.
quote from Shugendo, Bioglobe
