From now on, Kiyomizu-dera Temple will
seek for countless moments of one’s dedication
and single-hearted pursuit of excellence and
combine them with diverse scenes of prayer.
We will explore what a Buddhist temple
should be into the future.

The FEEL KIYOMIZUDERA project presents a new
perspective and a fresh interpretation of prayer
through a variety of experimental expressions beyond convention.
About
Praying is more than just the act of joining your hands together. Prayers embrace feelings of gratitude for peaceful daily lives and embody neighborly care. Listening to the voice of nature with finely-honed senses is also one form of prayer. Reflecting on yourself and entering a state of nonattachment―these series of acts are the exact embodiment of prayer.
手を合わせる行為だけが祈りではありません。日々への感謝、隣り合う人への気遣い、五感を研ぎ澄まして自然の声を聞くこと。想いをめぐらせ、自己に向き合い、無心へと近づいていく行為そのものが祈りのかたちです。
