What travelers say:

Liudao Zhenhuang Temple is the pagoda head of Jianren Temple (the small temple in the big temple), which is intimately called "Lao Liudao" by Kyoto people. Near the monastery was once a funeral stop for the dead to be buried in the Bird's Border (a Hill southeast of the capital), known as the Six Road Pass, which is regarded as the dividing line between the world and the underworld. Six Taos are Buddhist terms, referring to the six kinds of underworld that common beings have to go to because of their good and evil actions before they live - "hell, hungry ghosts, livestock, Asura, human world, heaven. Legend has it that the well next to the main hall is the entrance to the underworld. Oeno (a peace-time nobleman) served the Emperor in the daytime and at night was ordered by the King of Yan. He traveled between the world and the underworld through this entrance. Every year on August 7-10, "Six Ways of Worship" is held here, and "Welcome Bell" is sounded to guide the souls of ancestors to find their way home.
