Karesansui: A Zen Cosmos for Spiritual Training

A pointed boulder with a large stone at its foot reaches for the heavens. The white gravel represents a swift flowing river, without using water. Karesansui is a dry-gardening style that developed in the 14th century from ascetic practices at Zen temples. Monks meditate for enlightenment in a world of rippling patterns and curious rock arrangements. Enter the infinite Zen cosmos through Karesansui.
