DescriptionRyoanji is a Rinzai Zen temple of the Myoshinji branch, world-famous for its rock garden. Although the Hojo garden makes the strongest impression, the grounds also include a Butsuden enshrining Shaka Nyorai as the principal image. After quietly contemplating the stone garden, turning one’s attention to the Butsuden reveals more deeply Ryoanji’s identity as a Zen temple.
