龍安寺(Ryoanji Temple)

"Ryoanji (龍安寺)" is located in northwest Kyoto, belonging to the Myoshin-ji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism, and the temple is one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Regarding "Ryoanji", we are able to check it by WIKIPEDIA.


When I checked "Ryoanji" in WEB SITE, I found the Home Page of it. The HP has English Page and Japanese Page.





If you check the English Page, it might be possible for you to approach "The Secret of The Temple".

I have been living in Kyoto in my colledge days, from 1970 to 1974, and have visited "Ryoanji" many times, of course.
In a sense, "Ryoanji" is one of the most favourable spot in Kyoto for me.
