The pagoda
This is on the temple grounds. The Chinese character is
mu and it indicates
nothingness,
non-
existence, or simply
no or
not. This character appears often in Zen dialogs, particularly as a response to questions. It also appears in the Heart Sutra a great number of times (considering the length of the sutra) and is used to negate common conceptions.
A pleasant little corner of the grounds.
A statue of a crane beside one of the halls.
The main hall where we chanted the Heart Sutra. That is Ian's arm and waist on the left side of the picture.
