For those of you in your 70's, please use this forum to

talk about everyday problems, financial matters, recommended healthy recipes,

things you enjoy doing, or whatever

you think would be good. It's like a well-wisher's meeting.

Why don't you tweet about it?

Please don't be sarcastic or cold-hearted.

How many days did it take you to walk 1,200 km around?

In how many days do you plan to walk 260 km to Susaki City in Kochi Prefecture next time?
It seems that we will not be able to achieve our goal if we walk at a sluggish pace.

＞ I'm not a Shingonist, and I've already completed two 1,200km circumnavigations of Shikoku, simply because I enjoy walking on my own feet.

Now you are challenging the third lap ！ ！
I think it is usually impossible to do such a strenuous walk unless you are a devout believer ・ ・ ・ but you just like walking ・ ・ ・.
Are you still dressed in white ？ or do you have to wear white clothes so you don't hurt your knees or anything?

＞ How many days does it take to complete a 1,200 km round trip?

I walk 10 to 12 days at a time, so I repeat "round trip".
In the case of the "through" tour, as in #236, it takes about 40 days for a healthy person to complete the tour.

＞ How many days do you plan to walk 260 km to Susaki city in Kochi prefecture (Tosa prefecture) next time

The plan is to finish at about 3 pm on the 10th day. On this route, there are two temples on top of a mountain about 150m above sea level, and one temple 400m above the mountain. We will leave our backpacks at a guest house at the foot of the mountain at the end of the day and make a round trip with only a candle, incense sticks, a sutra book, and other light items for worship.

＞ You can't even say the Nembutsu of "Namu Daishi Hensho Kongo"

"Namu Daishi Hensho Kongo" may be part of the same "Nembutsu" as "Namu Amida Buddha" or "Namu Myoho Renge Kyo" but it is more accurately called "Ko-so Baisho". Also part of the Nembutsu is the "Heart Sutra". I am not a Shingon Buddhist, so I don't chant it except when I am walking in Shikoku. Therefore, I have not memorized it. At temples in Shikoku, both the main hall ・ and the Daishi Hall have sutras open for chanting. Believers can easily chant in the sky, but for the rest of us, sutra reading is perfectly acceptable. Odaishi-san does not say such stingy things like "you have to recite".

＞ I thought it was impossible without a fervent religious belief

That's not true, there was a program called "Hobby Yuyuu" on NHK Education around 2006, or was it TV Japan here? I saw the program and thought to myself, "Ugh, this is just a small-scale pilgrimage. When I saw the program, I thought, "Wow, this is the best way for me to travel around Japan," and started walking pilgrimage in Shikoku. I am therefore a "casual" believer only when I am walking in Shikoku. Anyway, simply walking around the remote areas of Shikoku all day long by myself, my mind becomes empty, and a pseudo "enlightenment" opens up. This is irresistible.
