This is lovely! All the ‘furin’ wind bells today in the summer breeze, at Kiyomizu Temple, in the hills above #Kyoto #Japan. Each bell carries a message of hope. 清水寺の風鈴。優しいし音ですね。 #京都 #風鈴 #清水寺 #temple #bell #today #gentle #tranquility #uplifting

A visit to #Nara on business today, took me through newly planted rice fields, and past the twin pagodas of Yakushiji Temple. It was hot,but so quiet. 塔の前の田んぼを歩いた。静かなところだった。 #temple #pagoda #rice #Kyoto #quiet #fields #farming #ricepaddy #Japan #today

Beset by worries and stress I went to the local temple. There, amongst the fresh green nature, & the gentle curves of the architecture, I found healing. Yesterday at Chishaku-in, #Kyoto #Japan. 寺の自然と優しい建築です。 #temple #Healing #stress #zen #meditation #relax

Today with work I was at Taiko-en #Osaka #Japan. For over 60 years many have enjoyed its restaurants & wonderful garden. In June it will close, having been sold to Buddhist cult,Soka Gakkai. 大阪の太閤園の庭園。最近カルト宗教の創価学会に買われた。 #仏教 #創価学会 #garden

Taiko-en garden #Osaka #Japan. Although the restaurants are all booked up until the closing date end of June, the garden can be entered and still viewed for free. Go into the car park and you will see the garden entrance.#gardens

#Kyoto #Japan. In a city where parks are minimal in form & few in number, it is quite often the temples, with their art & architecture,zen gardens & seasonal colours, that are the best places to go to for quiet relaxation. 寺は、いつも静かな所。 #寺 #temple #meditation #zen

Gently he steps, the man raking the sand at the temple. In itself, an exercise in Zen. Today at Shokoku-ji, #Kyoto #Japan. そっと歩いて、寺の砂利を掻いて平らにする。禅です。 #寺 #禅 #zen #temple #japanesegarden #rake #Meditation #today #tranquility

Cycling home through a local park. It isn’t anywhere famous,it’s just a neighborhood. But like many throughout #Japan,the cherry blossoms are lit up,brightening the everyday lives of normal people. 桜のライトアップ、人々の生活を明るくする。 #Kyoto #cherryblossom #SAKURA #bike

Today’s gentle neighborhood stroll in #Kyoto #Japan. On stepping stones through a zen garden, past an imperious temple gate, to glance over a tiled wall at a bamboo copse, and then to meditate on rocks & sand. 近所で、今日の静かな散歩。 #枯山水 #zen #garden #temple #bamboo
