Episode 31 – You're Dead, So Now What? Okunoin Cemetery, Mount Koya in Japan
Description
In this "You're Dead So Now What?" Episode, Kelsey takes Sheila on a journey to Japan's sacred Okunoin Cemetery, located on the misty slopes of Mount Koya. As she tells the story of Kobo Daishi, eternal meditation, and the spiritual depth of this vast burial ground, they reflect on the quiet reverence Okunoin holds, from its towering cedar trees to the ancient lanterns that have burned for centuries, and how it blurs the lines between life and death in ways that feel both haunting and serene.
