           Goma(holy fire) is the most mysterious prayer of Mikkyo(esoteric Buddhism). 
             
            An ascetic (monk) burns a worldly passions out in front of the fire with deep meditation, and prays for living thing's happiness and peace. 
             
          After Kobo-Daishi(Kukai) handed Goma down to Japan, it has been introduced from a teacher to a pupil for 1200 years.
