Virtual Zen Garden for palmpilot
Karesansui, or the "dry-landscape"
style japanese gardens have been in existence for centuries, but it wasn't
until the late sixth century with the advent of Zen
Buddhism did "dry style" gardens began to
evolve. The earlier gardens were created where one could enter and
walk around and much larger in scale. Around the eleventh century,
zen priests adopted the "dry landscape"
style and began building gardens to serve a different purpose. They were
to be used as an aid to create a deeper understanding of the zen concepts.
Not only was the viewing intended to aid in meditation but the entire creation
of the garden was also intended to trigger contemplation.
By the late 1200's, the basic principles had been established and up to
the present day, they have been refined and extended.
