Kenninji Temple Part 2.

Kenninji is the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto. Speaking of Zen, Daruma. The founder of Zen Buddhism in China.

The Zen world view is quite popular with Westerners, as represented by Steve Jobs.

The mysterious atmosphere is amazing. I'm not sure about the Orient,

It feels like a world that pursues the truth of all things.

In fact, even Orientals don't really understand how great it is.

Daruma's famous episode (I doubt if it's true),

The story of the King asking "Who are you?" And answering "I don't know"

It is said that it expresses a typical world view of the Zen world,

I don't understand the meaning at all.

Well, "It doesn't matter who you are"

"I'm in the process of exploring whether I'm one or the other."

In a sense, the philosophical and deep feeling is "Oh! Fantastic!"

In addition, there is also "I Yui Ashichi (I just know enough)" as a Zen Buddhist special move.

This is famous for the Tsukubai of Ryoanji Temple.

At the point when I was made to think about various things, I feel that I am well placed in the world of Zen.

So, Kenninji Temple, but of course, the hanging scrolls are full of Daruma.

And Kenninji also has a famous Zen Buddhist special move.

That is "◯ △ □". Suddenly, this is written on the hanging scroll.

Don't assume that even children can write.

I wonder what it is. I think it implies something.

In the ancient Indian way of thinking, ◯ = water, △ = fire, □ = earth,

There is a story, but I don't really understand it because it feels like "So what?"

And what is interesting is that I used this hanging scroll as a garden.

That's right! ◯ under the plant, □ in the well, and. .. that? Where is the triangle? ??

The triangle is divided into triangles when you look at a part of the garden from above.

Ah, is it because it looks like a hanging scroll when viewed from above?

An even more interesting garden follows. "Shione Garden". It is said to be a garden in front of all four sides,

The concept of being able to see the front of the four sides from any angle is interesting.

surely. It feels good to see from any direction. The name Shione also matches. The stonework makes me feel the sea,

You can hear the sound of the waves.

Finally, "Ssangyongzu" by Junsaku Koizumi. It is a ceiling painting of the temple. This is also famous.

Kenninji Temple has many attractions.

I'm not sure about Zen truth,

It's a fun place with some fun similar to trick art.
