The documentary film “Kiyomizu – Cycle of Blessings,” 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.
This 20-minute film features commentaries from three Kiyomizu figures: Chief Priest Seihan Mori, Curator Teruhisa Sakai, and High Priest Eigen Onishi, as well as a collection of archival footage and scenes specially filmed for this documentary work.
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.
The Blu-ray disc of this documentary film, along with 12 postcards, are available within the temple grounds.
