Marathon Monks of Mount Hiei - PREVIEW

Purchase: The greatest athletes in the world today are neither the Olympic champions nor the stars of professional sports, but the “Marathon Monks“ of Japan’s sacred Mount Hiei. Over a seven year training period, these “running Buddha“ figuratively circle the globe on foot. During one incredible 100-day stretch, they cover 52.5 miles daily - twice the length of an Olympic marathon. The prize they seek is not a pot of gold, but enlightenment in the here and now.
