The garden's name, Hashin (The Heart of the Waves), holds a deeper meaning: If you still the turbulence of earthly passions, the moon (the Buddha-nature) will reveal itself, reflected beautifully on the surface of the waves.
TIME & SPACE™ has been held many times.
At Komyo-in, this will be the 5th stage.
Having evolved through numerous installments, the "TIME & SPACE™" project is honored to present its fifth performance at the serene Komyo-in.

〜 Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, wave-particle unity, looking down, looking up 〜
Ambient Session with Nature
All beings emit their unique [waves].
Colors, sounds, brainwaves, quanta, emotions, trends, climate, all are [waves].
The smallest unit of the universe might be [waves]. It is the most fundamental principle that penetrates all things in nature.
