Kiyomizu film exhibition “Kiyomizu – Cycle of Blessings”

Amid such uncertainties, we at Kiyomizu-dera Temple have continued to pray for people’s comfort and enduring world peace, believing that our role is to serve as a steadfast anchor for those living in this moment.

The documentary film “Kiyomizu – Cycle of Blessings,” a feature of this exhibition, uses a large collection of videos captured by photographers for over a decade. We asked ourselves again about what Buddhism and our temple can do to stand by those who are living today. This time, we’ve reached the conclusion that crafting a film would be an effective way of expressing our thoughts.

We would be glad if those watching this film feel a connection with Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and feel some hope, if small, about living in the present and into the future.
