It is the sameness for the sea
Not to refrain from accepting water
And for this reason
Water smoothly gathers together
To make the sea.
The Dharma hall or hatto of the Zen monastery Zuioji where the sutras are chanted.
Beside meditation and chanting sutras, daily work periods are major parts of the daily life in a Zen monastery. Here, we collected blossoms and leafs from a magnolia tree in front of the hatto.
What? No leaf blowers? 🙂
