Engakuji (円覚寺) is another Zen temple of the Rinzai sect in Kamakura. It was founded by Houjou Tokimune (北条時宗 1251 - 1284) for Wuxue Zuyuan (無学祖元 1226 - 1286) invited from China to commemorate those who died in the Mongolian Invasions (元寇) in 1274 and 1281.
This temple used to be a private temple for the Houjou clan (北条氏) as compared to Kenchouji for the Kamakura shogunate.
The Houjou used to be a local Samurai family based in the Izu peninsula just to the west of Kamakura. They were originally a supervisor of Minamoto no Yoritomo (源頼朝 1147 - 1199) when he was exiled to Izu at the age of 13 after the Minamoto clan (源氏) was defeated by the Taira clan (平氏) in the political rivalry in the imperial court.
The Houjou supported Yoritomo to strike back the Taira clan and establish the Kamakura shogunate, for which the Houjou was awarded the hereditary regent position in the Kamakura shogunate. Yoritomo’s wife also came from the Houjou.
Houjou Tokimune was the 8th Regent of the Kamakura shogunate.
Oogane is an old bell installed in the precinct of Engakuji.
To me the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim, the rocks, the motion of the waves, the ships with men in them. What stranger miracles are there? (Walt Whitman)
“Flow with whatever may happen, and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.”
― Zhuangzi
Zen is the ability to see things as they are and not to add, change or alter your perception of your own reality. The truth is from your viewpoint.

Sono precipitato per tutto questo tempo
E ora sono perso in paradiso
Solo e perso in paradiso…
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise
Alone, and lost in paradise…
The nandina of contemplative meditation. A number of moon gates available to lead the wren, if not to enlightenment, at least to breakfast.
My eyes were drawn to three beautiful moss-covered rocks in the calm pool of a clear stream. It seemed like three Zen monks are meditating.
清流の淀みの苔むした美しい岩に目が留まりました。その配置と言いまるで庭師が石を配した感じです。私には三人の禅僧が瞑想しているかの様にも見えました。枯山水を文字って河山水と造語しました(^^)

For some reason, while parts of the country basks in an unseasonal heatwave, we often get several days of coastal fog in the far west of Cornwall. We could see the fog drifting up Zennor Valley and went to photograph it, but it drifted so far in that the cliffs look more like highlands and very little of the cove could be seen at all.
Zen Palate 5 is a composite image of my macro photographs of an anemone and a creatively processed ficus leaf.. There were two versions of this image. This one is stronger.
