Ryoanji Temple

Jul 17th, 2010

There are 2 sets of gardens at Ryoanji Temple, the dry rock garden and the wet gardens. There are fifteen rocks in the dry garden raked with white gravel. There are many stories about the meaning behind these rocks and how they are laid out. It is a good place to come and mediate on life and other subjects

Lots of people sitting here thinking about life as they look out over the garden

Climbing the stairs to the Temple

A look in the corner of the rock garden

Taking in the other corner of the garden as well

Some rain falling across the roof line

The rain starting falling heavily and water poured down this stream

The leaves looked wonderful in the rain

The pathways are beautiful in this area

Wonderful to see in any weather conditions

It is always good to visit Ryoan-ji. I first visited here a long time ago and much appreciate the experience. The atmosphere changes in the different seasons and I enjoy watching the rocks in the garden.

A great place to sit and think about the path ahead of you.
