#4: The authors discuss the Zen gardens as a place, not so much for observation, but for experience. “What makes a Zen garden complete is the actual ‘being in the garden’ of a participant….” They talk about the fusion of space and time, and how in the ambience of a Zen garden, “clock time is forgotten.” The Zen garden “invites the participant to experience both timelessness and spacelessness,” and offers an environment “in which the original human nature (or authentic self) is realized….” Where can you go/be to have something like this experience?
