Leigh!!!!!!!!!!!!

"We are the closest to death we have ever been."

We went to Koyasan, Kyoto, and Osaka.  
This is Leigh's favorite place in Koyasan: the hall of lanters. Here is a woman writing sutras. 



Here we are at the temple we stayed at, sitting in front of the Cosmic Buddha, Dainichi-nyorai. 

This cute novice prepared our breakfast. 

This monk shaved my head in the bathhouse (his idea). We became good friends. 


Here we are at the entrance to the forest graveyard. I always think of Lauren when I visit Koyasan. This was my sixth time!
