“南蓮園池圓滿閣 Pavilion of Perfection, Nan Lian Garden” / 香港園林建築全景 Hong Kong Landscape Architecture Panorama / 中國旅遊 中国旅游 China Tourism / SML.20130329.7D.37104-SML.20130329.7D.37112-Pano.Cylindrical.156x70.P1.L1
Besides filled with plants unique to China, there is something special about the architecture seen inside 南蓮園池 Nan Lian Garden. No nails are used to construct any of the buildings—these are techniques developed in China way back in the 唐朝 Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD).
Situated in the middle of the garden is 圓滿閣 Pavilion of Perfection (pictured). Perfection (Sanskrit: paripūrna) describes being surrounded by adequacy and not lacking anything.
The Pavilion of Perfection is shaped as an octagon. The ponds surrounding it is also designed as a lotus with with eight petals. It is used to described the eight auspicious function of water used in the Buddhist tradition: 澄淨、清冷、甘美、輕軟、潤澤、安和、除飢渴、長養諸根 — to clean, to clear, sweetness, lightness, soft, moist, peacefulness, to quench thirst, and to enrich one’s roots.
In addition, the Pavilion of Perfection describes the perfectly harmonious human relationships, the perfect morality, the perfect merit, and the perfect wishes. It is used to describe a blessing for the visitors [1].
This panorama is photographed handheld using nine 7D RAW captures.
