Everything is transient

It is therefore illusory to believe in the permanence of things in this world. 

In Buddhist Zen, we know that everything has a beginning and everything has an end. 

A beautiful example of this is the "Symondsbury Zen Garden," which I and my students created at a magical place of power in the southwest of England. Have a look...some pictures.




We used the garden for several year as a refuge of peace and relaxation and for meditation. After I left the area for a while, my students cared for this beauty spot another two years and after that the landowner required the plot back.
