Hidden Treasure – Pearls of Wisdom

About a week ago, on a whim, I took photos of all the sheds in the monastery, all thirteen of them. There is something about sheds that I like. They don’t look much from the outside however they hold infinite treasure within. Perhaps a bit like you and me, when our interior is viewed with enlightened eyes.

Along with those lines from Zen Master Ryokans poem My Precepts, I’ll post photos of the sheds. As with the pictures I published in May, please do not linger over long on trying to draw out some deep spiritual meaning to my linking particular photos to the text. Not worth loosing sleep over believe me.
