"Xingdeyuan 🏰 Zen tranquility and wisdom"

#Fukuoka Attractions Kōtokuin Temple is full of cleverly arranged stones that form lifelike hills and streams. Although there is no flowing water or vegetation, it is cleverly shaped into a tranquil picture full of Zen. I couldn't help but stop and watch, and be mesmerized by it. Just as I was admiring the miniature landscape made up of these stones, I suddenly noticed an old lady in a kimono sitting in the corner. 👵 She was concentrating on making tea and drinking it leisurely, as if she was completely immersed in this Zen atmosphere. I couldn't help but walk closer to observe her and found that her expression was so peaceful and her eyes revealed incomparable wisdom. I sighed, this old man must be a frequent visitor to this place and knows every detail of it. Later I found a young man in another place who was carefully pruning the bushes in the dry landscape. 👨🔧 It seems that the managers here are very dedicated and hope to maintain this natural art work that combines Zen and poetry.
