Urabon Dharma Talk

About this event

The Urabon Dharma Talk at Kiyomizudera is a special Buddhist lecture held during the Obon season, in which a senior monk shares teachings on the meaning of the ancestral memorial festival and the Buddhist concept of interdependence. Set in the atmospheric surroundings of this iconic hilltop temple, the talk offers a rare opportunity for deeper reflection on the spiritual significance of this most Japanese of seasons. Open to all, it is a calming and enriching counterpart to the more festive aspects of Obon.
