I am always updating the little shrine in my living room. I had some sand from my visit to red rock nevada in a jar for over 12 years and finally had a very good use for it. I unscrewed an old wooden art box that held paints, pencil crayons, markers and pastels and filled it up with the sand. Placing buddha inside of a lotus in the centre 🙂 ….
As I continue on my mission for a Fung Shui home I hope this fire element zen garden can bring me some positivity.

The Third Zen Patriarch, Janzhi Sengcan, wrote in his poem Xinxin Ming:
“The more you talk and think about it, the further astray you wander from the truth. Stop talking and thinking, and there is nothing you will not be able to know. To return to the root is to find the meaning, but to pursue appearances is to miss their source. At the moment of inner enlightenment there is a going beyond appearances and emptiness.”
These words were written almost 1,500 years ago in China.
