Genshin Fujinami, a Buddhist priest, finished a 24,800-mile running ritual in Japan that dates from the eighth century and is believed to be a path to enlightenment. It took Fujinami seven years to complete the spiritual marathon, and afterwards he pronounced himself "satisfied." He had attained such a high karmic state that he constantly repeated the unanswerable mystical question, "Nike or Puma?"
