  2. "Zen teaches us to to actively focus on one thing at a time..."
    "Eating, walking, wringing out a wet rag. Just focus on that. It can be anything. "

    "So right now, take a moment to focus on eating a piece of candy. This is your entrance into Zen."

    "Welcome to your 'Inner Trip'."

  3. 🌨️⛄️SPRING SNOW🍵🌸

    There is a saying in Kyōto at this time of year that goes "sankan shion" (三寒四温), "3 days cold, 4 days warm".

    I think we may be deep in those 3 days...

  4. 10) THE DRAGON (龍)🐲
    Some say it's possible to trace the outline of a dragon, starting with the rock at the most easterly point.
    Follow the curving body through the central garden to the NW group, then on to the SW group, finishing at the tail (the low rock from Shikoku 四国).

    This may seem like a pretty far out there idea, but the temple's name 'Ryōan-ji' (竜安寺/龍安寺) translates as 'The Temple of the Dragon at Peace' so...

  5. 🪨THE RIDDLE OF RYŌAN-JI'S GARDEN🤔

    Ryōan-ji's (竜安寺) dry landscape garden (枯山水 'karesansui') is by far the most famous zen garden in the world.

    It is a 'koan' (公案 a zen riddle without a solution, intended to focus & open the mind) written in gravel, rocks and moss.
