Product Description

The Zen Garden is a scaled-down representation of Nature, with the rocks resembling mountains and the sand, water. Zen, the Sanskrit word for Meditation, is a learned discipline. The purpose is to clear the mind of chaos and achieve a greater state of inner peace. As you rake the sand around the rocks, you can choose patterns and designs reflecting swirling pools or swift streams. It is the patterns evolving from the contemplative mind that provide the most serene landscapes. Experiment, meditate and enjoy. Included in this Zen Garden is a wooden tray in black finish, two simple natural finish rakes, white purified sand and a small assortment of rocks. Also includes a booklet on meditation. **** NOTE: COLOR/SIZE OF ROCKS MAY VARY AS SHOWN SINCE THEY ARE ORIGINAL ROCKS AS SUPPLIED BY NATURE ****

I used this as a yankee swap gift last year at my work and it was a big hit! My coworker keeps it on her desk and everyone gravitates to it and uses it.

Zen is Japanese for "meditation." It comes from dhyana, which is Sanskrit, Jhana, which is Pali, and Ch'an, which is Chinese.
