Tachiki Kannon

A Buddhist temple located in Ishiyamanango-cho, Otsu City. According to legend, in the Heian period, the great monk Kobo Daishi became stranded amidst the rapids of the Seda River; a white deer allowed him to ride it to safety, after which it transformed into the Kanzeon Bodhisattva. Deeply moved, the monk carved a figure of the deity with his own hands and founded the temple here. Because this occurred when Kobo Daishi was the unlucky age of 42, this temple has long been believed to grant worshippers protection from misfortune.
