Kiyomisu Temple









La fontaine sacrée


C'était le jour de sortie du dragon bleu (finalement il est vert, mais bon).
Voici quelques infos concernant la cérémonie

One of them is Seiryu, which is a sacred dragon guarding the east side named Higashiyama, where Kiyomizu-dera is located. In fact, Seiryu is considered as the incarnation of Kannon, enlightened being of Marcy and Compassion, mainly worshiped in Kiyomizudera.

Seiryu has been revered so much because it has been watching out Kyoto day and night without any rest to make sure people don't suffer from misfortune.
For the deep appreciation to Seiryu, a Buddhist ritual called Kiyomizu-dera Seiryu-e started 7 years ago. It is the dragon procession going around the temple and its main approach.
