ADVANCED
73
DAY EARTHSTAR PROGRAM
As Utilized by the 5 Mt System of Miryai
In the Living Gods, Let the
hallowed Light of Transcendent Truth be praised. Let the Sweet Mystery
of Miryai awaken in the heart of hearts.
The Shingon, Shugendo, Shinto, Tendai,
Pure Land and Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions are merged with the Gnosis,
thru "Skillful means", in this 73 day study and practice program. Each
3 day period addresses one common theme, and five of these make up half
a lunar moonth, or Fortnight.
