The faith handed down at Kiyomizudera's Zuigudō
At the Zuigudō of Kiyomizudera, Daizuigu Bosatsu, who hears people's wishes, is enshrined as a hidden buddha (hibutsu). Kami and buddhas connected with good relationships, safe childbirth, and raising children are also enshrined in the hall, which is also known as a place for tainai meguri (walking through the "womb"). Many prayers of daily life gather in this one hall.
