- Bring your body close to the fire of wisdom of Acala and pray for the fulfillment of your heartfelt wishes. The word "immovable" refers to a firm bodhi mind and unwavering wisdom. Receiving the vigorously burning goma fire will surely firm up your mind and body. During the goma training, you will have special access to the main hall of Fudoin Temple, which is closed to the public. As you ascend into the divine barrier, you will naturally feel a sense of solemnity.
