|| A BRIEF INTRODUCTION || OF || ZEN PHILOSOPHY || & || SAND RAKING ||
Sometimes, it feels like every single second of our lives is filled up with something to do. For millennia, Eastern philosophies have known of the benefits and importance of the simple act of doing nothing, even if it’s just for a few minutes at a time.
There is something about Zen Sand Art that connects to a very primal and deep part of our brains. Maybe it’s the perpetually changing patterns drawn in a bed of very fine sand, maybe it’s the surprising motion of the sphere that appears to move by magic, or maybe is knowing that every time you look at it, the pattern will be unique and soon will be gone forever.
Whatever that something might be, when you walk past it, it is impossible to ignore. Like looking at the waves crash on the beach or staring into a bonfire. Your mind wanders. Suddenly you are doing nothing but being in the moment.
This is a concept essential to many Eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. It is meant to represent the infinite cycle in which everything is born, lives, dies, and is reborn.
It implies all of our actions are connected with the universe. All the things that have happened before have brought us to the place we are standing right now. And every action we do today will affect everything else in the future. Everything is chained in a never-ending cycle.
Seeing the sequence of new patterns forming while erasing the previous ones, made us think of this beautiful concept that fits perfectly with our purpose of creating an experience that lets you take a break, reflect and restart.
Spending so much time and effort perfecting the inner workings resulted in the development of an extremely compact, yet powerful mechanism that opened the door to an outer shape, unlike anything that exists out there.
Don’t let the streamlined and subtle design fool you, thanks to our innovative mechanism. With all of that wasted space gone, we focused on creating an elegant form that immediately catches the attention of everyone who enters the room.
Creating new patterns is incredibly simple. Not only will you be able to choose from over 100 patterns from our growing library, but building your own patterns is very easy.
Gardens of raked sand or gravel and stone are referred to as karesansui gardens which literally translates to “dry landscape.” This style was developed in Japan in the late Kamakura period (1185–1333) and an important Japanese aesthetic principle underlying these dry landscape gardens is yohaku-no-bi, meaning “the beauty of blank space.”
While dry landscape gardens are sometimes referred to as Zen gardens, it is more accurate to refer to them as karesansui. In Japan, this style of garden is often part of a Zen monastery, such as the famous Ryoan-ji in Kyoto. Often attached to the abbot’s quarters, this style of garden was not meant for meditation [zazen], but for contemplation. Care of the garden was part of the monk’s practice.
Portland Japanese Garden’s Sand and Stone Garden was designed by Professor Takuma Tono in the 1960s when Zen Buddhism was little known or understood in this country. Professor Tono was inspired by the Jataka Sutra, a 2,000 year old Indian tale about a previous incarnation of Buddha. The story is recorded on a painted panel in the Horyu-ji temple at Nara and other Buddhist artifacts depicting the Buddha facing the dilemma of saving a starving tigress and her cubs trapped in a ravine. The Buddha’s self-sacrifice to save starving creatures is a lesson in compassion on the path to attaining enlightenment.
This modern techniques of sand art is derived from the following philosophies. And the powerful patterns are available for everyone.
Enjoy and have peace.
Harmony and wisdom must prevail.
