Tenryu-ji temple, located in Kyoto, in Japan, is one of the major Japanese Zen temples and UNESCO World Heritage Site known for it's gardens.
The photo is from the main page of the
temple's site and I was really touched (after two ritrits I finished just some days ago) reading the quotation posted there on the main page and the invitation to visit it (temple) for practices. Here is the quotation:
"Our existence here and now is not due to our own force, but to the force, blessing and support of all around us.
This is not only true for ourselves. Mountains, trees, and birds — all beings exist accordingly." Sakai Tokugen
For those who practice Zen could be interesting the invitation: it's possible to come in the temple and live some time there. There are periods of normal practices and intence periods. I don't have the intention to describe it here -you can read everything in the site. I wanted only to pass the notice about such a great opportunity for those who can allow it.
