Visited Ryōan-ji Temple in Kyoto, the one with 15 rocks, but only 14 are visible at once. It taught me that when you learn to listen to silence, you realize it has been speaking about you all along

The Zen garden of Ryoan-ji in Kyoto is one of Japan’s most mysterious treasures. It consists of 15 carefully placed stones on a bed of white gravel, yet from any vantage point, only 14 can be seen. It’s said that the missing stone reveals itself only to those who reach enlightenment, a timeless reminder that perfection and absolute truth are beyond human sight, and there is always more to discover. This garden invites silence, reflection, and inner balance, values deeply connected to freedom and clarity of mind. 🌿

True beauty lies in the simple, the imperfect, and the unnoticed Kyoto’s gardens and temples make it visible in every corner🌸🇯🇵⛩️
