  3. 百度参ひゃくどまいりの祈願きがんの内容ないようは、多おおくは個人的こじんてきなものであり、その内容ないようが切実せつじつなものである場合ばあいに、一度いちどの参拝さんぱいではなく何度なんども参拝さんぱいすることでより、心願しんがんが成就じょうじゅするようにと願ねがったものである。

    In terms of the content of the prayers offered during such hundred-fold visits, in most cases it is a personal prayer specific to the individual; if the content of the prayer is urgent, the wish is that by visiting and paying homage to a shrine or temple many times, instead of just once, the person’s heartfelt prayer stands a better chance of coming true.
