MINI ZEN WATER GARDEN FREE
Usually walled in like a courtyard, these gardens were kept free from distractions and interruptions from the outside world, allowing the monks to contemplate the teachings of Buddha and the natural world in total peace. The Japanese Zen Garden (枯山水, karesansui) was created in the 11th century as a place for Buddhist monks to have a place of refuge and meditation within nature while still within the confines of their monasteries.
